If you guys could resolve the find and replace bug I described above, that would be a start.
I had a situation yesterday, when I wanted to replace all instances of "€[space]" with "€".
I copied and pasted "€[space]" into the search field and "€" into the replace find. When I hit replace, the system changed "€[space]" to "€", and so I could not perform this simple function
This meant that I had to manually search every instance of (e.g.) "€ xxx,xxx.00" with "€xxx,xxx.00" and delete the space manually.
It cost at least one hour. A ridiculous waste of time and energy, and reduces the time needed to perform a proper QA at the end. So quality suffers too.
Please fix!!!!! [/quote]
Dear Conor,
thank you for your post. Not sure about the XTM version you are running but as of v12.3 (released back in April this year) Workbench supports whitespace handling, meaning that you can also keep them in Find and Replace. When you open the Find and Replace window (Alt+F is the standard shortcut), you should expand the 'Options' that you see at the bottom of the window. The last option is 'Match the count of whitespaces'. Please give it a try and let our Support team know if it doesn't work.
With a specific configuration, your client can also enable soft break handling in the target segment as well (a carriage return resulting in a new line in the target segment), but this needs to be configured from support and it is only possible as of v12.4 (released this summer).
Early next year we will be also introducing regex-based QA checks, so this will make the QA in Workbench much more flexible. Stay tuned...
PS: Check what's new in 12.5, released just today! The release notes will come out today: [url removed]
