search replace for links

Unread post by Jamie Bodley-Scott »

I use Snippets.
Sometines I have links to the main project in the snippet. These reference another file i.e. ..\Admin-Guidev5.3.hmxp
Now when I update to a new version of the manual (Admin-Guidev5.4) - I want to do a search/replace on the 5.3.
I don't see any options for this here....
So is there a way apart from opening every snippet and editing the links?

Hi Jamie,

There isn't currently an option for that, unfortunately. What you can do is search in the topic source code with an external editor like the free Notepad++, which can search through multiple files. You need to have your project stored in the uncompressed HMXP format. Then you can search through all the topic XML files in the \Topics subfolder in the project folder.
