Oh Dear, its that time of the month again.
Yes it is; Richmond's error trawl......
read "SDLC" and other acronyms that cover up
incredibly time-consuming exercises.
So, here I am merrily going through some 50 objects changing 57620 to 57618
and 57768 to 57769; very, very tedious indeed.
Of course life would be about 1,000,000 times easier if each object had
the same code;
but they don't; just the lines containing those number that need to be
altered.
Has anybody any bright ideas how this might be done semi-automatically?
Need more info. Are you editing scripts or properties? Are the numbers
icon IDs or what?
If icon IDs, in the future, you can use "the id of img 'nameOfImg'"
instead of hard-coded numbers if you think they may change later.
For now, if these are in scripts:
get the script of control x -- x would be a name or number
replace "57620" with "57618" in it
set the script of control x to it
