Re: Finding forbidden words

[Chris Despopoulos <cud@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a series of freeware tools.  One that I developed for a current 
project, but that I have not released yet (not fully ironed out for 
general use) takes a table with words to find in column 1 and words to 
change to in column 2...  It then performs the find/change for all these 
words in a document.  I used it very successfully in a large project 
where all occurrances of certian strings had to change.

The problem with it for now is this:

If replace text in col 2 contains the full string in col 1, you go into 
an endless loop.  For example, if you specify to change "a" "bad", then 
you go into an endless loop.  That is "bad".

When I finish my current project, I will take care of this bug. 
 Currently I don't do anything about it.  Anyway, you could use this to 
search for all these words, then change them to something else - either 
the preferred string, or some identifying string so you can search for 
them later (of course, avoiding the endless loop).  That second option, 
plus my BookLooker tool might be a decent work flow.

My tools are free - find them in the downloads area of my web site. 
 However, for this tool you need to contact me, since I haven't released 
it yet.  Unfortunately, these tools are for Windows, only.

Cheers                  cud
