This screenshot shows what I did but the link never appeared in the booknotes

I tried it with the word "the" in the Search For box and tried again with the Search For box blank. That didnt work either

Am I trying to do something which isn't possible.

I have created a custom long text column
I have cloaked the column with an icon which appears in the column in the booklist
There is no text or html code in the Book Notes when I open metadata so I am not searching for something to replace as there is nothing there to replace
Following your instructions above it should not matter what I enter in the Search for box as I am appending to the existing even though there is no "existing"

Thanks
haino

@haino - Grab the HTML Text from the HTML tab in the Editor like so



then do this, it should work

I am unsure why I thought the search field could be anything, suffice it to say it must match something somewhere. Search for

.*

[haino]

Then enter content in the search field, since we are appending it is irrelevant what you search for unless you want to use it in the replacement.
Search for:

.*

Replace with:
whatever you want.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for all the help. That worked
I am very pleased
Thanks again

Did you not know disengaged brain cells are contagious

The brain cells that knew that were disengaged at the time.

Every once in a while I make a stupid mistake. When I am lucky, no one notices until after I correct myself. For a given value of lucky --- that might mean they didn't bother to look!

you can blame me if you like - your brain cell subconsciously interpreted my earlier Search for nothing into No need to Search for anything - hence contagion

I could say my nothing was meant to be interpreted as... '.*' . . . but won't

Thanks, I'll use that.
