Find and Replace doesn't work for Property Loader

[Eric L]

Hello,

I had a question about how the Find and Replace works with property loaders.

What I want to do is to move a variable from Locals to FileGlobals. It is easy enough to copy and paste the variable, and then use the Find and Replace tool to change all of the references to the variable being moved. However, it seems this doesn't work with property loaders. More specifically, it looks like the Find tool searches the "Property Name" and the "Column Name/Number". However, the "Property Name" doesn't indicate whether the variable is in the Locals or FileGlobals (i.e. it isn't a "fully qualified" variable name). That info only seems to appear in the "Selected" box, which doesn't seem to be searched. So, I end up man
ually going thru the property loaders to find the references and change them.

Is there a better way to do this that I am not seeing?

Thanks,

Eric

Eric -
The property list in the property loader step specify the properties to look for and the file or database that contains the data defines whether a variable exists for each of the groups. Think of the list in the step as a "group-independent" filter.
