Replace Command

The Replace command applies to the selected column in all unformatted messages in the current display (both text and hexadecimal) or, if formatting has been applied, in all messages with the same format definition. You must select the field you want to search before you invoke the Replace dialog.

Note: Fields that belong to repeating groups cannot be searched.

If the queue contains more messages which are not in the current display, you must retrieve the next set of messages and repeat the search and replace operation.

The changes are not effected in the queue until you click Apply.

If you are editing under sync point control, you can back out any changes made using this operation. The changes will not take effect until you commit them.

Check Match Case if you want to find strings that match the casing of the search string.
