How can i massive replace specific string accross multiple files inside my db ?
Basic example i need to change my signature name in 80 doc or rtf file from “Aldo” to “dr. Aldo”
Is not the filename but the content of the file that i need to change
Thanks
That might be possible with a script, but
I’m not sure what you mean by “doc”, but if it is a Word file: I don’t see an easy way. Certainly not from within DT. For RTF: It might be possible with a script, but accessing RTF content is a PITA. Also, you would have to be a lot more specific than “chnage Aldo to Dr. Aldo” if your files could contain the first word in a different context, like “Aldo Moro”.

Nor PDFs, I guess 
You can edit PDF documents of course but not replace text 
And this script supports only plain & rich text and Markdown.
