My first question to the Forum ...
... is:
How can I use a Find/Replace operation to insert a filename (or better, the first n characters of a filename) into that same file? That is, I want to open a (html) file, go to a certain point, insert the file's name (or part of it) and then go on to the next file in that directory and do it all over again (using a new filename, of course). I have 600 files to process, and doing it manually is not feasible. I know how to do a "global" Find/Replace over all these files, but I need a token of some kind to insert the filename. Or a clip to do the same, operating over all 600 files. Can this be done? [Hints to a better subsection of the forum for this query are welcome.] Thanks. Collier Smith |

Good to have your company, Collier. Yep, a sub forum here is where to take your question. Not sure which one, but if you don't find something that might specifically address the question, 'general discussions' might well produce a solution. Luck and best wishes. Neil
