Searching across folders

[ccardimon]

If a project has, say, two levels of folders, is there a way to run a Find and Replace across embedded folders to change, for instance, all mentions of "IBM" to "CBS?"

In Flare 11's Find and Replace in Files, there is a way to select a specific folder in which to search. It's a drop-down list, but I can't recall how it's labeled (and don't have access to Flare right now else I'd check). You could either do the search twice, once in each folder, or select the parent folder that contains them (which, obviously, will search all subfolders [if there are many], not just the two you're interested in).

Thanks Nita. I'll play around with it.

Does the Find in: (whole project) option not work for you? Or do you mean child folders only and leave the Content (or parent) folder alone? For that, I think you want the (pick a folder) option, which means you'll need to do each folder separately. Or, add an asterisk (or whatever) to instances in the Content folder, then do (whole project), then go back and take the asterisk out.

Reluctant to use "Whole project" as the entire thing is huge and contains folders of outdated material. Hoping for a more granular solution.

If you want to use Flare and only search select folders, I see only one option: (pick a folder)
