Greetings, I am trying to perform a 'find and replace' function on my web
to update a server name from (for example) http://oldweb/reports/ ... to
http://NEWweb/reports/ ... in all of my hyperlinks. I've attempted to
perform this 'replace' function in the broken hyperlinks report (under the
reports view). However, I haven't been successful in getting the search
(find) criteria to replace only the server name in the existing url's on
multiple pages; is there a way to do this? Is there (perhaps) a global
edit or wild card character that i should use in order for the
'edit-replace' function to ignore all of the text string to the right of the
server name (in the continuation of all of the hyperlinks)?
Thanks for your help and insights!
 
Are you using Absolute URL or Relative URLs in your web.

Absolute URL = http://....
Relative URL = ../....

If you are using Relative URLs, there is nothing to search and replace.

If you are using Absolute URLs, then search for http://oldweb and replace with http://newweb

Relative URLs are the default for FP, and is the only type of URL that FP can manage.
