 Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2006 6:30 pm Post subject: Iannz Find and Replace problem ????? |
 |
|
| Has anyone noticed any issues with Iannz Find and Replace macro? I have noticed it will sometime delete characters at the begining of a paragraph--or even entire sections of paragraphs--when I use it to replace double paragraph marks with a single mark. This tends to limit it's usefullness for me, as one could imagine. |

I don't mention anything bad about it. The only inconvenience is that after a couple of OOo version upgrades, it's work has gotten quite unstable: often, it produces weird error messages. But still, I see no data loss.

You can't please everybody, right? Without that tool, however, the life would be even harder. |

True, and I do use the macro. But being that I have repeatedly experienced data lost by doing a mass find/replace for extended codes, I do have to use it in a more 'interactive' manner which does limit it's usefullness and makes the work of find/replace of extended codes harder than it would be if I could get it to work correctly. |

I found this snippet of code very useful for search and replace, though it is only for text and regex, not formatting codes or styles.
Just edit the arrays to change the find and replace strings.
| Quote: | Sub Replace
oDoc = thisComponent
aFind = Array("\n", "Æ","æ" ,"Ø", "ø" ,"Þ" ,"þ")
aReplace = Array( " ", "Ā", "ā", "Ī", "ī", "Ū", "ū")
aRayCount = 0
FandR = oDoc.createReplaceDescriptor
FandR.SearchCaseSensitive = true
FandR.SearchRegularExpression = true
While aRayCount <= uBound(aFind)
FandR.setSearchString(aFind(aRayCount))
FandR.setReplaceString(aReplace(aRayCount))
aRayCount = aRayCount + 1
oDoc.ReplaceAll(FandR)
Wend
End Sub
|
The above array values will replace all line-breaks with a space.
