Hi All,
I'm trying to use "Select by Attributes" as with V8i. I'm trying to select text with some special string input in all Levels with the MS Connect Edition 10.00.00.25
But if I'm clicking through the "Select by attributes GUI" I can not input some string in the string input field. Why?
Hello.
Since this command does not work yet.. I had to do a workaround,
Make a macro to replace the text that you want to select... This of course I only an example, but could be better if add the input text dialog... I hope this could help you.
Regards Guillermo Perez

i'm sorry but if you know the text string you want to find then doesnt find replace find the text?

Hi,
Search and Replace does not select text elements, so this is not a work around for massive text changes.

Here's an alternative text search tool. It has a Select option...

What is 'massive'? Does that tool help in your situation? Suggest ways in which it might be improved.

Hello Lorys. The tool to select does not work (yet) for Text elements. So to me was the way to solve in many files that I have to change. So to me that work around works... As Jon Summers mentioned (I have not tried), there is anorther tool to solve this trouble.I'll try, but looks good. Regards.
What do you mean Find Replace Text doesnt find Text? The Find replace is specifically for Text yes it is limited but it does find text, what kind of text are you looking for?... Jon Summers tool has much improved the find text tool with his own tool even finds tag text and text nodes....

Rather than tell us that something doesn't work, why not tell us what you want to achieve?
Do you want to...
