- The Search For field supports the * and # wildcards (available in v2900 or newer).
- AHU*_ would denote any substring starting with AHU and ending with _
- AHU#_ would denote any substring starting with AHU and ending with _ while also having numbers in between
- The following options are possible as of version 4.5.817:
- If you want to replace an actual * or # character with something, prefix it with a \ character to let it know not to interpret it as a wildcard.
- AHU\*_ would denote a substring that looks like AHU*_
- AHU\#_ would denote a substring that looks like AHU#_
- Adding a comma into the Search For allows you to replace multiple points with the same Replace With value.
- AHU,VAV would denote to replace all substrings that are either AHU or VAV
- Prefixing the , character with a \ character allows you to replace the character as well
- AHU\,VAV would denote to replace the substring AHU, VAV
