Inteliigent "find and replace".
Hi All,
I need to do a inteliigent "find and replace". How do I have MS Word do a search and replace using the following rule: Find the word Test ID (followed by anything up to a newline) and replace it with a constant word. eg. Here are three lines of text Test ID (723) - Success Path - CLI Configure Acct-Interim-Interval (AII) Timer Test ID (724) - Success Path - Session Release - 3GPP PCC to 3GPP PCC termination of a call Test ID (725) - Success Path - Session Cancelled - 3GPP PCC to 3GPP PCC call session is cancelled by originator prior to successful set-up What I want to do is do a search that reads "replace all occurances of TEST ID (followed by anything up to a newline) and replace it with the word 'Not applicible". Please help! Derek |

EditReplaceMore check use wildcards
Find: Test ID?{1,}^13 (or Find: Test ID?{1,}^l if you are using line breaks to end each line) Replace with: Not applicable |

Click the More button in the Replace dialog and turn on the Use
Wildcards option. See http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm. The search term you need is (Test ID[!^13])(^13) and the replacement item is Not applicable\2 -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
