Search and Replace 3.5.3 - [Error] Editing Function Block Program variables.

[PhilipTM]

When using the S&R script, the script had a problem with editing Function block program Variables and Const. The pasted log is from running script again after a successful S&R of all the other areas.  

Hope it's enough to explain if i did something wrong or if this is a common problem with this S&R version.

Hi Philip, It's hard to tell what goes wrong just by looking at your logfile. 

One thing to consider is ensuring that search and replace operations do not result in object names or constants exceeding the length permitted by EBO, and that no invalid characters are used.

The script is quite raw in this regard and does not have built-in controls to prevent such syntax errors.

@PhilipTM if you provide an export, what you search for and what you enter in replace, we can check.

@PhilipTM  You can try and use Search And Replace Turbo, it will might tell you what is going wrong with renaming in FBP. You find S&R Turbo in this forum

I don't know how much i can share. But seems like it has something to do with the length of the renaming. I'll try out some different iterations of the "From - To" csv. to see if i can find what names are the problem, and then return.

@JohnnyCarlsen Thx for suggestion and taken the time to support. For now since i think it's a "User Error"/me using tool incorrectly. I'll just stay with the version that is installed and on current Seal Version installed on our server. To narrow down step by step the mistakes made.
