Hello,

&nbsp;is there a way (or some utility) which allows a search-and-replace on multiple FBP7 files?

&nbsp;I would like to do this programmatically as there are 100's of paths to change.

&nbsp;Thanks!

Dave

Hi Dave,   
  
 You will find the “Search & Replace” dialog located in the Edit menu of FinalBuilder. It allows for regular expressions, and other options to be chosen for when updating a FinalBuilder script.   
  
 My I suggest also to replace any common paths, or ones that might change in the future with variables. We find this very helpful in updating scripts ourselves.
