Re: [Framers] Search for text + tag?

Although FM does not have the feature of searching for a specific phrase that has a specific paragraph/character tag, one thing to make the search a little easier is to use the ALT key when searching. In recent versions of FM, after clicking Find, the focus stays on the Find/Change pod, so

Re: [Framers] Search for text + tag?

As I saw the range of suggestions, I wondered if I'd oversimplified the issue by working from memory, since I haven't actually fired FM up for a few years. So, I invoked FM 9 on WinXP SP2 under Parallels on my early 2008 MacBookPro, to see what's what. Although your original statement of

Hi Karen... The only way I can think of to do this would be via scripting of some kind .. ExtendScript, FrameScript, or FDK (or Perl, Python, etc. on a MIF file). If you don't find a reasonable solution, my FM2DITA plugin may have an undocumented feature that could let you do this. If it's a

Another way to do this would be to 1. Save as MIF. 2. Locate the first instance in a text editor (I prefer Notepad++) 3. Copy that string. 4. Search and Replace the string. 5. Save the MIF. 6. Reopen in FM. -- Original Message -- From: "Karen Robbins" To:

Karen wants to change all instances of a string when it is in a paragraph with a particular tag and ignore instances of the string. I don't think the Find/Change dialog lets you specify a paragraph tag for the Find string. On Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at 1:42 PM, Paquet, Becky [US] (MS)
