Change Variable name and all instances

[President Obama 0]

Say I've made a variable called $Hi and I've used it in 4 different documents because it ends up in a session and/or cookie but now I want to change that variable name to $bye and all the instances of it in the 4 documents. Is that possible in dreamweaver?

Never used DW, but there should be a 'Find and Replace' function in one of the menus, I'd imagine.

Yes, close all documents and hit CTRL-F (or command-f), you'll get the find window.

 

Starting at the top:

Find In- set this to the folder with all your stuff -  your local root folder (now called local site folder)

Set Search for - source code

Then just type in what you want to replace in the find box and what you want to replace it with in the replace box.

 

You may or may not want to check Match case.

Dam I thought DW might of had a specific function to find the variable because I could of used that variable name in my body. Oh Well.
