Hi,
Ah, I thought so. I've tried it using Grade 2 and computer Braille.
Fortunately, I only got the string not found message, no lockup.
How do I go about reporting this?
Tom

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Find and Replace in Keyword
Unfortunately, not yet. I have submited this bug to hw, and I know at
least a few others have as well (please do so as well, Tom, as more
data can only help). No one has yet been able to even find a pattern;
sometimes it works, sometimes it says it cannot find the string, and
sometimes it will lock up and require a reset. It seems to do it in
grade 2 and UEB (not sure about computer braille) and the file format
does not seem to matter. Hopefully ks9.1, if we ever see it, will fix
this and other apex-specific bugs. There are remarkably few bugs in
the apex for an initial release, but this is one of the big ones and I
would hope it would be addressed soon.

Hi,
Okay, now that I'm back on the list and all seems to be working, I may as
well get right into it.
One of the first things I noticed with my Apex and Keyword was a
find-and-replace bug and I can't seem to figure out a work-around; maybe
some of you will have some ideas.
I download a lot of books in .brf format from Bookshare. One of the
things
that I do right off the bat is open the book in Keyword, and I try to
strip
out all of the lines of dashes that separate the print pages, leaving the
print page numbers intact.
So, that means I'll do a find-and-replace, looking for strings of
dashes,
say, up to 36 dashes in a string, and I tell Keyword to replace that
string
with nothing at all, and, I'll tell it to replace all occurrences. Now,
here's the funny part. I could be looking right at one of those strings
of
dashes, and keyword insists that it can't find it.
Do any of you experts out there have a work-around for this?
Thanks in advance.
CHEERS!
Tom
