Text Replace Action fails

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

I have a project which worked with FB3. Today I noticed that the Text Replace is no longer working with FB4.

I have a file with a #VERS# label. The action replaces #VERS# with the actual version number.
The only option used is “Case sensitive”. The action description is also named Replace #VERS#.

What happens? The log file shows that the action Replace ## has found 0 matches.
Any text between # is lost. Has # got any special meaning?

#XXXX# syntax was introduced in FB3 for Action List Parameters. You will need to escape it with an extra #, e.g ##VER#

BTW, this syntax is now depricated in FB4, since you can now just use the same syntax as for variables.

OK, since its depricated - can I switch this behaviour off?

And I found nothing about ## in the help file. There should be a section about "special characters".

Thanks Martin,

I’ve added a note to the help about this.
