Replace quote

Post by jpmic »

I have a problem with the tool and I'm not sure how to do that

I'm trying to have this

Public Const LOGIN_PASSWORD As String = "TEST"

To be

Public Const LOGIN_PASSWORD As String = "TEST1234"


When I use the line Public Const LOGIN_PASSWORD As String = "TEST" in the est expression tool it does not find anything. If I remove "TEST" then it work. So I guess the system as a problem to find the expression because of the quote.

What should I use ?

That should work fine with the quotes, just tested it.

One thing that can happen is your search expression may have got 'curly quotes'. This can happen if you've copied it via a word doc or email.
