Problem with replacing html in multiple pages

Good day,

I have a problem in one particular sub directory of my site that mean I have
replace code within an image tage over around 50 pages (a path error). I am
using FP2003.

I want to replace them all at once, but I find that the 'find in source
code' check button is greyed out when I select 'replace', even when I have
all pages open and the view set to code.

I have also tried selecting the multiple pages on the server without opening
them, and still the same problem.

Also, because it is only a portion of the image tag that is wrong, is it
possible to replace say:

.../fr/

with:

/fr_2/

does one have to use a wildcard in the search?

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks
Chris

Make sure you have the site open in FP
- not just the pages

Yes you can replace
/fr/
with
/fr_2/

I have the site open, and I've even tried it live on the remote server too,
but still that greyed out radio button!

At a bit of a loss now to be honest - I hope I don't have to do them all
manually :-(

You have to search for each group of pages based on how the link is written, unless you do a search
and replace for fr/ with fr_2/.

FP doesn't support links that start with just a / as the first character. Link must be written like
one of the following:

filename.htm
folder/filename.htm
.../filename.htm
.../folder/filename.htm

I think you misunderstand me Thomas - using fr/ and fr_2/ was merely an
example wildcard.

The problem I have is that the directory were the path needs correcting is
the image folder which contains around 100 images - this is why I need to
use a wildcard to change just the path as opposed to the entire <img> tag
(as every tag is for a different image, but same path).

I think this might be my problem!
