Search and Replace
Search and Replace Action tasks are used to locate and replace strings of data within the job
file and to replace them with other strings of data. Note that this Action task cannot be used with
binary files.
For more advanced search and replace functionality, see "Advanced Search and Replace" on
page255.
Input
Any text-based file can be used in this task, even formats that are not directly compatible with
PReS. As long as the text is visible in a text-based editor (such as Notepad), it is readable and
supported by this task.
Processing
The appropriate changes are made to the data file (replacing text).
Output
The modified data file is output from this task. Metadata is not modified in any way if it is
present.
Task properties
General Tab
l
Find: Enter the string of data for which to search. In this variable property box, you may
enter static characters, variables, job information elements, data selections, or any
combination of these; see "Variable task properties" on page201..
l
Replace with: Enter the string of data to use as a replacement. Since this is also a
variable property box, the same as above applies.
l
List of words to find and replace: Lists each string to find, and its replacement. These
are executed in order, from top to bottom.
