Use [Edit] [Find] or [Edit] [Replace] from the Raw data view window to locate a particular string of characters.
This tool window is used in a raw data file to locate and replace text in a particular range of columns.
You can restrict the range of columns in which to search for this text. This allows you to locate answers to specific questions or ranges of questions that use sequential data locations.
This tool window can be left open and used again when required.
You cannot find or replace multi-coded columns in binary data; only normal characters (including spaces) can used.
Find the next occurrence of the string in the data, starting at the current position.
It will only search in data locations that are within the inclusive range set.
Be careful to search for whole answers by padding with zeroes or spaces.
IMPORTANT: If the range of columns contains more than one question, be careful not to locate answers that overlap two questions. For example 99 could be found in the answers 19 and 93 if they are together in the data.
With the "Enabled replace" you can substitute the last found text with the replace text.
The replace text must contain the same number of characters as the text found.
With the "Enabled replace" checked you can substitute all the found texts with the replace text.
The replace text must contain the same number of characters as the text found.
This tool window remains on top of the Raw data view window until it is closed.
