I want to replace 2 different text sentences with each other using only Find and Replace which you find amongst the most common word processing packages. For example let say I want to replace:

Amharic - English - Japanese

to

English - Amharic - Japanese

How can this be done?

  • More information is needed before anyone could possibly help you. What program are you using? What kind of file holds the data? – Excellll Mar 31 '14 at 14:59

I think you ahve 2 options (without using Regex or similar).

Find it by the entire string - type in Amharic - English - Japanese
In the replace box, type in English - Amharic - Japanese

Or, if the format you've shown isn't constant, just do a direct replace with

Replace Amharic with ThisWillBeEnglish-ThisIsAnUglyHackButItWorksAndIsAUniqueString

Now, replace English with Amharic

Now, replace ThisWillBeEnglish-ThisIsAnUglyHackButItWorksAndIsAUniqueString with English

  • Thanks. I used the second menthod. I had to think of that! – Cyclone Mar 31 '14 at 14:57
  • Yes, it's a hack but, it works very well. I do suggest you save it before doing this though, just incase the string isn't unique :) – Dave Mar 31 '14 at 15:45
