Default Insert text longer 254 characters in word
Replace or insert character chains of more of 254 characters in word 2010.



How can i do this.

The find and replace option only accepts chains less 254 characters.

How can I find and replace chains of more 254 characters ?

Can i use wild cards ?

Regular expressions ?


Best Regards

Wildcards (regular expressions) is certainly one possibility, but you really haven't given us anything to work with.

this is the original string :

"driver kali linux para el adaptador usb alfa negro https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au . ifi card on an virtualbox's ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/28201...ualboxs-ubuntu two folders i12213154654654646464646n different pc to synchronize. I would like to know is FFS is able to sync when a file is moved or deleted from one of the folders without problem. s able to detect theses changes ? Or simple synchronize attending to the actual and present files and folders ? Best Regards http://www.freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4197*"

This is the string to replace the original one :
"driver kali linux para el adaptador usb alfa negro https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au . ifi card on an virtualbox's ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/28201...ualboxs-ubuntu two folders in different pc to synchronize.

Or simple synchronize attending to the actual and present files and folders ? Best Regards http://www.freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4197*"

And the string to replace the original one is :
"driver kali linux para el adaptador usb alfa negro https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au . ifi card on an virtualbox's ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/28201...ualboxs-ubuntu two folders in different pc to synchronize.

Or simple synchronize attending to the actual and present files and folders ? Best Regards http://www.freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4197*"

How can i do that ?

Can I mark someway the start and end of any portion of text to be replaced ?

Best Regards

Just break it up into portions:

Code:
Sub ReplaceBigPortions()
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "driver kali linux para el adaptador usb alfa negro https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au . ifi card on an virtualbox's ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/28201...ualboxs-ubuntu two folders i12213154654654646464646n different pc to synchronize."
        .Replacement.Text = "driver kali linux para el adaptador usb alfa negro https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au . ifi card on an virtualbox's ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/28201...ualboxs-ubuntu two folders in different pc to synchronize."
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
With Selection.Find
        .Text = "I would like to know is FFS is able to sync when a file is moved or deleted from one of the folders without problem. s able to detect theses changes ? Or simple synchronize attending to the actual and present files and folders ?"
        .Replacement.Text = "I would like to know is FFS is able to sync when a file is moved or deleted from one of the folders without problem. s able to detect theses changes ? Or simple synchronize attending to the actual and present files and folders ?"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
With Selection.Find
        .Text = "Best Regards http://www.freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4197*"
        .Replacement.Text = "Best Regards http://www.freefilesync.org/forum/vi...hp?f=2&t=4197*"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub
Of course, my solution is rather clunky. I'm sure Paul could provide you with a much cleaner version...

But the method consist using VBA code.
I was thinking about the possibility to do this from the find and replace word window. And using regular expressions there.

I have installed too the VBA Find & Replace utility able to do replaces between different word documents.

Uses a similar window to find and replace in word.

With code is the only way to do this ?

I will need a different code for each replace then .... !

So why did you post in the VBA forum if you really want to do it through the GUI?

You can, of course, copy the 'replace' expression to the clipboard, then use a wildcard Find/Replace expression with, for example:
Find = driver kali linux para el adaptador usb*4197\*
Replace = ^c
The above assumes the final http string is not a hyperlink in the document.
