John,
That is *SO* much *NOT* the point!!!
When someone spends thousands of dollars on a piece of software, reliable support for simple functions such as Search/Replace should be a given!
Just my NSHO!

Subject: Search + Replace in SPSS 20

I want to replace certain strings in sections of my syntax file.  Whenever I
highlight that section and use Search+Replace, I get a message that the
"search string was not found".  SPSS does find the search string in that
section when I click on "All" for search area.


Is that a bug in the software or do I need to change some settings?

Matt
