How to Search and Replace IO addresses for variables

[HenryDara 0]

Second day using Proficy. Needing to cookie cut from a template program that references I/O devices in the HMI variables. Currently I have to edit each one individually, and there are thousands of tags to be changed, times the number of cloned systems I am creating. How can I automate this mind numbing, and error prone work?

Answered my own question. Export to .CSV, edit in Excel, Re-import. Done and done.

The faster, maybe better way is to learn how to use the "Toolchest".
With it you can link code and later if needed edit the 'Toolchest' and update them all. Or copy from the 'Toolchest' with offsets, etc.

Actually, I just happened upon the toolchest. Thanks!
