Search and Replace Description Text
Not available in MicroLogix 1000 A.I.
A separate utility exists for searching and replacing instruction description text. This
utility searches through instruction descriptions, looking for a text string that you
specify, and replaces the string with another text string.
To search and replace description text:
1. From the top ladder editing menu bar, press [F6] Utility .
2. Press [F9] Util2 . The function keys change to the second set of utility options.
3. Press [F3] S/r des . The Search/Replace Description Text window appears.
4. The Search Address field on the menu is highlighted. Enter an address if you
want to limit the search to specific addresses or to wildcard addresses. If you leave
the Search Address field blank, the system places an asterisk (*) in the field,
meaning that all addresses will be searched. Press [Enter] .
5. The Search Text field highlights. Type the text you want to search for, and press
[Enter] . This field is not case sensitive; you can enter the text in either upper or
lower case.
6. The Replace Text field highlights. Enter the text you want to insert into the
description instead of the search text, and press [Enter] . The text will be replaced
exactly as typed (in upper or lower case).
7. The system asks you if it should automatically replace the text. If you press [F1]
Yes , the system will automatically replace every instance of the search text with
the replace text. If you press [F5] No , the system will prompt you to confirm that
you want to replace the text at each instance.
