Well you will be glad to know the search (and replace) feature has been so vastly improved that what used to take over a minute to search all substacks for, now takes 3 or 4 seconds. The replace function is just as fast. You could search for "the effective label" and replace it with "the label" with I think, complete confidence, in all your scripts all at once.
I wouldn't try globally replacing variables beginning with "the" with "t" of course, that would be disastrous. :-) Bob S > On Jul 10, 2018, at 11:20 , Paul Dupuis via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > In LC6.7.11 you could say 'set the effective label of button X to Y' and > it worked (it essentially ignored the 'effective' keyword and set the > label property).
