Find and Replace

Find and replace all occurrences of text within thought names and labels, link labels, external attachment paths and URLs

Includes support for regular expressions

Changes are undoable however it is still highly recommended that you create a brain Archive (.brz) prior to performing a large Find and Replace operation on an important brain

To begin replacing:

  1. Open the File menu, select Utilities, then select FindandReplace.
  1. Enter the text to be replaced and the text to replace it with.
  1. Specify where the text occurs. The available locations are:
  • Thought Names
  • Thought Labels
  • Link Labels
  • External Attachment Paths
  • Attached URLs
  1. Use the check boxes to specify whether letter case is to be ignored and if you want to use regex (regular expressions, which allow sophisticated pattern matching capabilities).
  1. Preview your results prior to executing the change and click Replace when you’re ready.
