Help: Using the Search/Replace a String wizard —Step 1: Enter a String and Select RuleSets |
Use the form to enter the string value you want to match, the new string value you want to change it to, and to identify the RuleSets in which you want the change to be made. You can limit the search to RuleSets in your own RuleSet list or review all RuleSets in the system.
Be sure that you have a current backup of your system before refactoring any RuleSets.
Complete the fields as follows:
Field |
Description |
Original String Value |
Enter the string to be replaced. |
New String Value |
The string to replace the Original String Value. |
Limit search to RuleSets in my RuleSet List? |
Select Select In the RuleSet list, specify the RuleSets to be searched. Select the top check box next to RuleSet Name to search all the RuleSets listed, or search only specific RuleSets by selecting the check box next to each in the list. |
Next >> |
Click to perform a preview scan identifying the number of rules that are found matching the original string value. |
Cancel |
Click to exit the wizard. |
Every occurrence of the string will be replaced with the new value, including instances in which it is embedded within a longer string, and without regard to case.
If your search is not limited to your current RuleSets, the search can take hours or more to complete, and the potential effects will be more extensive and possibly difficult to analyze.
