Search and replace?

[besupported]

I have set up a script that automatically creates folders and copies files to new directories every week, like so:

Copy Files "$vPath-Input$\PD 10\1040 ODC YTD Detail Report.pdf" to "$vPath-Output$\1040.DOS.FSI-W\Budget\JSRs\2011\PD 10\1040 ODC YTD Detail Report.pdf"

And next week it would be like so:

Copy Files "$vPath-Input$\PD 11\1040 ODC YTD Detail Report.pdf" to "$vPath-Output$\1040.DOS.FSI-W\Budget\JSRs\2011\PD 11\1040 ODC YTD Detail Report.pdf"

There are about 6-700 such lines of code. We need to change the directories from 'PD 10' to 'PD 11'. Is that possible to do for all lines at once, or will we need to manually edit each line to reflect the changes?

I exported the script as a text file and opened it in Notepad++, then used its Replace function to replace all instances of 'PD 10' with 'PD 11'. However I cannot paste this script back into Automation Anywhere. Is something like this possible, or is there a way to search and replace?

Hi,

Unfortunately, you cannot change the path of multiple lines directly at one go, you will have to go through each line to change it manually. Also it is not possible to convert the text file back to .atmn file.

For future reference we recommend you to use a standard variable for assigning the path or folder name, very much similar to $vPath-Input$ you have used in the current task.

Regards.
