How about saving the files as MIF and using a search and replace tool that works on text files to change the path? Notepad++ has a global search and replace for text files. -- Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Robert Evans wrote: The following will work if you have if you are working in, or have access to, a unix or linux environment (eg Cygwin) then its relatively easy use a sed script to make the changes on saved .MIF version(s) of the affected file(s). Each line of your sed script would be something like this: /ImportObFileDI/ s/08-204/analyzer_main/ The first part /ImportObFileDI/ limits changes to the lines in the MIF file where the path to the file is given, so there should be no danger of making changes to other parts of the file. The second part of the line gives the old and new file names. If you haven't already renamed the files then you could start off with a unix script that renames the files, for example: mv 08-204 analyzer_main and then edit this to create your sed script. You can then run the sed script with the command: sed - f script-file-name input.mif output.mif I don't know of any equivalent batch processing utilities available under Windows but would be interested if anyone knows of them.

Now the company decision is that they should have letters, like analyzer_main. We plan to keep all file names the same in all translated languages. Is there an easy way to do this without having to reimport. Maybe there is a tool?
