Find and Replace problem

SheepGuy · 2012-02-10, 10:17 PM

In a txt file I'm trying to find
"URANUS trine URANUS
Put your text here. Do not make it more than one paragraph."
and replace with

"URANUS trine URANUS
This positive aspect occurs in everyone's life approximately every 28
years and it's influence is long lasting. What it gives you is a strong
desire to stand on your own, a need for personal freedom and an interest
in trying new and sometimes unconventional ways of looking at life. If you
are approximately 56, or 84, or 112, look back on the events in your life
when you were 28 to get a very good idea of what's coming up."

Any ideas on how to do this through either notepad or word '03 would be great!!

SG,
download free notepad ++
which is by far the best free editor out there, load your text, click search and then replace.

I use a little program called Search & Replace - I use it for 90% of my search & replace stuff & it's only $25

I use the search and replace feature on notetab. It will search and replace all open documents if you tell it to. There is a free version of that also.

Thanks guys!

Notetab is what I used to use for this and I'd forgotten all about it.
