Batch Search and Replace
PPT2HTML can automatically do simple search and replace on each HTML file it generates.
To activate this feature, add this line to the [PPT2HTML] section of PPTools.ini:
SRFile=c:\program files\rnr\pptoolsv2\somefile.txt
That is: SRFile=full path to the file that contains your search/replace strings
The file itself should be plain ascii text (ie, created in Notepad or the like).
It should be a series of lines with the text to be searched for on the left of an equals sign, the text to replace it with on the right side.
searchtext=replacetext this=that something=nothing
PPT2HTML performs each of these replacements on the HTML it creates from each of your slides.
This feature only works in PowerPoint 2000 and up; it's disabled in PowerPoint 97.
As with any search and replace, you have to be a bit cautious about what you ask for. If you include this:
men=women
the search/replace will turn "men and women" into "women and wowomen" (it sees the 'men' part of 'women' and replaces it as well).
In some cases you can work around this with an S&R file that includes something like this:
men=women wowomen=women[Previous] [Home] [Next]
