| Hint: You need to Download and install "Replace Pioneer" on windows platform to finish following steps. |
| Sometimes 'Search for Pattern' can not handle some complicate situations, so we designed "IF" filter. If "IF" return 'True', the corresponding replace will happen, otherwise the replace will not happen. In one sentence, if can only decide "replace or not", can not decide "replace with this or that". Steps to resolve your issue: 1. ctrl-o open your file 2. ctrl-h open 'Replace' dialog * in 'Replace' page: set 'Search for pattern' to set 'Replace with pattern' to * select 'Advanced' page: set 'Run following for each matched unit' to: 3. Click 'Replace', done! |
