How to replace StepTypes over a hole SequnceFile

[j_dodek]

Hi,

I have to update a StepType in some SequenceFiles.

Lets say there is type "User1" and it should be replaced with type "User2"

I found no suitable Teststand solution.

I opened the .seq file with Visual Studio and did a serach and replace over the hole file.

This is working well but i have to use VS !

Is anybody there knowing to solve this in TS ?

Hi Juergen,

Can you not use the Find and Replace in the Edit Menu

there is and option the replace all instances.

Apply Replacements in Types to Type Instances—Enable this option if you want the Replace operation to update all instances of a type when a Replace is done on the value of a type property. Normally, changes to the value of a type property do not affect existing instances of a type.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your answer. You are right!

I tried the F/R in the edit menu before i post this, but i found only one hit,

so i assumed this bad.

When enabling the flag, it will only change the step name in StepTypes's view panel

and all settings in the will refer to the old one.....

...But ! Now loading a file with desired Type will cause a confict (of course!)

sloving conflict to this file will update my desired file!

I think this is suitable and better than using VC
