Fred Slota Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Is there a ComicBase Find & Replace? Quick Change will replace an entire field, but if I want to correct a semi-consistent misspelling in random places in a field, is there a way to do that in program? Is there a way to export/import such that I could use Excel to do some find & replace, such that the import will overwrite the changed field and not make duplicate entries?

Steven L. Dasinger Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Menu item Edit-Find and Replace (or CTRL+H) will allow you to search and/or replace in either one of many (text?) columns, or, if you like to live dangerously (and have a backup...), you Find and/or Replace in ALL the columns at once (but you will NOT get a preview before the change (hence, the 'live dangerously)). This will do single items in a multi-item field (ex. any of the creator fields, Appearances, Storylines, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven L. Dasinger Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Oh, also, unlike the Find changes, you can't submit the changes you make with Find/Replace. You can do a Find then Mark the issues that you find before you use the Find and Replace to find and submit them afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 I suppose I could have moused around a little before asking... I right-click for Quick Change and didn't see it in the Right-click menu and didn't look further. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Thanks for the warning. I'll play around with this. With a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
