Search and Replace Text
The Search and Replace Text object searches for and replaces text that you specify in a text file.
Note: This object replaces functionality in the Manage Text File Legacy object. For more information, see the Legacy topic.
How it is used
Use the Search and Replace Text object to search for text that you specify and replace it with other text.
Configuration
To configure the Search and Replace Text object you need to know the name of the file that you want to search in, the encoding it uses, the text that you want to search for, and the text that you want to replace it with.
