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

Answered in longdocs.

Multiposting just makes volunteers waste their time - which isn't really the
best way to get help from them.

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
