Re: Finding Strings starting with blanks in Code

Hi Dwight,

Are you searching in CODE using the single quote (') or double quote(")?
If so then that would be the reason why it is not finding the string.
You shoudl just be able to type the PC with the space, without any quotes.

Hope this helps!

Ok

When I worked with SEU I could type either ' PC' or " PC" in the command
line of SEU, or on the Find/Change Options screen by pressing F14.

When I do the same thing with Code it says there is nothing, even though I
can see what I am looking for.

I am trying to insert XRE in front of 106 fields that starting with PC in a
data dictionary of 1400 lines.

I got this one to work by excluding the first 156 lines then the last 1138
lines then finding PC in 19 and 20 and replacing it with XRE.

Is there some way to change the lines that are excluded. The SEU version of
this worked hours ago, but it didn't like me inserting more characters than
I am scanning for even with allow data to shift. So I had errors on two
lines that way.

Once I finally got code to work, it changed just the ones I wanted the way
I
wanted them. Nice job on that one, but it is still too cumbersome.
