dreamweaver find and replace HELP! - GoFuckYourself.com

zentz · 11-22-2005, 08:28 AM

so i have 100+ html files containing the following url codes:

<a href="1.mpeg">
<a href="2.mpeg">
<a href="3.mpeg">
<a href="4.mpeg">

and i want to change those urls to

<a href="http://newdomain.com/1.mpeg">
<a href="http://newdomain.com/2.mpeg">
<a href="http://newdomain.com/3.mpeg">
<a href="http://newdomain.com/4.mpeg">

what would be the easiest way to do that with find and replace feature in just a few clicks ? is there a way to explain dreamweaver to ignore those 1,2,3,4 numbers so i could just set it to replace all the <a href="X.mpeg"> codes with <a href="http://newdomain.com/X.mpeg"> for example ?

Copy and Paste them into UltraEdit32, Notepad, etc. and click "Replace"

Replace: <a href="
With: <a href="http://newdomain.com/

Then click "Replace All"

Ok, so when you copy and paste them, only copy and paste the ones that you want to change. As far as doing it all easily in DW like your talking about, I haven't found a way yet and I think we have just about every plug-in available for DW.

You can highlight blocks of code and do a find and replace ONLY for those blocks of code
