Hi.
Under UNIX/Linux you may apply a small simple job, see attached tool
Replace.py
To replace occurences of "one two three" in any text files within
the tree /tmp to "three two one" just do:
find /tmp -name "*.txt" | Replace.py "one two three" "three two one"
and everything is done. You may also catch xml files, svg files and so on,
which would not be covered by zim itself anyway.
In this case you need python and Replace.py has to be executable,
found within your PATH.
Enjoy,
Andreas

Hi Karthik,
Afraid this is not possible at the moment. However, since all content in
zim is in text files, you could use another editor with this function if
you nee dit once. If you need it often, makes sense to write a script or
plugin for this.
Regards,
Jaap

Dear All,
Is there a way I can replace text across pages? The find and replace
tool only seems to work one page at a time (excluding sub pages).
