(Archived) How to rename tags via find and replace?

[d1n60 0]

I've got many tags that have identical strings in them that I would like to change to something different.

 

Ex:  

123 Mellow Brook Road blah blah 1

123 Mellow Brook Road blah blah 2

.

.

.

.

123 Mellow Brook Road blah blah n

 

I'd like to change the above to:

321 Mellow Brook St. blah blah 1

321 Mellow Brook St. blah blah 2

 

.

.

.

.

321 Mellow Brook St. blah blah n

 

Is there a way I can do this in one operation - like a find and replace?

 

 

TIA

AFAIK, no. Had you simply had one tag for '321 Mellow Brook St' & used 'blah, blah, blah' as a second tag, you'd have only needed to do one change - rename '321 Mellow Brook St' to 'used to be 321 Mellow Brook St' & you would be done.

No way to do this, as far as I know, but +1 for what looks like a Paul Klee avatar..

Very good eye!

 

Big Klee fan here...

Likewise. I was considering using something from his work -- maybe a clip out of Fish Magic, I like the little dunce cap guy -- as my avatar here, but wasn't happy with any of the results at the time. Might need to revisit that. 

 

Anyways, good luck with your renaming. Every time that I see questions like this, I think that they'd be a good addition to the Windows ENScript.exe console application. No such luck at this time though.
