Unexpected results on exact replacement

[frosteemjj]

I have a file C:\B7_980\dcell1_cimplicity_screens_6-11-02\SCREENS\AlarmCounts.ctx with the string LN18F in it, and I want to replace that with GLN018F because we are moving the system to another server ( LN18F and GLN018F are server names ).

I set the filter up to do an EXACT replace, and I can look in the log and see that it processed the file but made no replacements. I set the routine up to process C:\B7_980\*.ctx, maintain the structure and output to c:\b7_980convert. That means I wind up with C:\b7_980convert\B7_980\dcell1_cimplicity_screens_6-11-02\SCREENS\AlarmCounts.ctx, but the text has not been changed.

Sample snippet from that file:

(GmmiPoint "\\LN18F*1\D1_ALARMCOUNTS_MSG2" 10 1 1)

In file C:\b7_980\SCREENS_1\Use_This_on_18\ctx_files\barcode info dcell3.ctx, the text converted the way I wanted.

Sounds like one of the files is Unicode.

Try setting the search/replace to a Unicode search/replace, or add two replacements, one for ASCII/ANSI, another for Unicode. Use the right-click on the file grid to check if the file is Unicode.
