Feature Request: Find&Replace

[godylockz]

I think a find and replace feature (current note/all notes) feature would be nice! I know an inconvenient method would be to find and replace within the sqllite database in the backend.

Hello, welcome to the forum!

Just in case you haven't seen it before: Maybe this would help?

Find & Replace in All Notes

@itpropaul I am not in position to test this so it is only a suggestion to consider. Try it only if you are feeling confident. This uses the idea put forward by @cweinhofer above. Rather than work on the sync or .config/joplin-desktop folders it may be possible to: export all notes as “File > Export > Raw - Joplin export directory”, you will get a folder full of .md files and a sub-folder full of resources, use Notepad++ on the exported folder (Search > Find in files) to replace the unwante…

Also, please do not alter the strings in the database, it may corrupt the sync data. For automation, better to use APIs and CLI.

You might want to consider using @rxliuli's VSCode plugin as it essentially uses the data API to display all your notes within VSCode so that you have your data plus all the power of a fully featured text editor.

Happened to use the VSCode plugin for the same purpose the other day, which was very convenient with regex support and all. This is a great opportunity to say:
Thanks @rxliuli !!
