Hi,

I want to create a simple SKILL utility for find and replace texts in the DB (for the project number in template, e.g.) and I want to ask if is there some easy way how to get all the dbid of the text in whole DB?

Thanks.

Miro

Edit: This is the best I can think of.

 

axlSetFindFilter( ?enabled list( "noall" "text") ?onButtons list( "noall" "text"))
axlAddSelectAll()
moAllTexts = axlGetSelSet()

    I've done this small routine, however it change the text only in the curently displayed layer. Is this normal behavior? 

    Regards,

    Miro

     

    axlSetFindFilter( ?enabled list( "noall" "text") ?onButtons list( "noall" "text"))

    axlAddSelectAll()
    moAllTexts = axlGetSelSet()

    foreach( moAllTexts axlGetSelSet()
    if( moAllTexts->text == "TEST"
    axlDBChangeText( moAllTexts "CHANGED!")
      println( "DONE!")
    )
    )

    axlClearSelSet()
