Hi,
I need to substitute the html linkText in a field with other linkText.
For example I want to replace all instances of "Gl,movement" with "Gl,12345" in the htmlText of two background fields on many cards.
<a name="Gl,movement">movement</a>
I suspect someone has a routine to this.
Find doesn't work on htmlText when it's not visible and I'm getting over my head trying to do it with the offset function.
Thanks for suggestions!
