search and replace

[GrahamL]

Hi
I am looking for a search and replace feature
I want to replace all occurrences of string in all elements with another

Does such a feature exist?

To my knowledge: no. You would need to write a script.

I think someone once made some kind of tool to do that, but I don't remember who or where.

I'm pretty sure you should find some references to that in one of the forum posts.
Possible alternative solution: export to xmi, search/replace in notepad, import xmi

Be careful when doing search and replace. If your search string is not exact enough, you might end up replacing too much.

(e.g. you want to replace "car" with "automobile", but you end up changing "careful" to "automobileeful")

If you're careful, you can export to XMI, edit the XMI in a text editor, and re-import.

Just to add another option, if your repository is eapx you can open in MS Access and use that search and replace.
