Need help using WildCard Find & Replace
Hello, Forum;
I've got some massive documents to update and need to be able to change elements that fall into a pattern, while leaving text already in place untouched. For instance, I need to change the </p> tag in this statement:
Tuesday: (This text will be different each time) </p>
to
Tuesday: (Variable Text) <br />
In the Find What field I put:
Tuesday:*\</p\>
Which found all instances of
Tuesday: (Variable Text) </p>
But when I put this in the replace field:
Tuesday:*<br />
the (Variable Text) was replaced in each instance by the asterisk.
I need to identify the text string by the word "Tuesday" and the "</p>" tag, replace the "</p>" tag, but leave the variable text between the two intact. I can't seem to do it.
Thanks for any help.
