    Editing Multiple Rows of Data with (Ctrl F)

    Hi,

    I need to edit many rows of text that I have listed in a table -- like in the example listed below. Is it possible to make the edits all at once with (Ctrl F) ?

    you need to find the patterns. use the find and replace if you have to. update queries work too.

    I figured it out with Find/Replace

    Find: O-*
    Replace: _Instrumental


    then I did


    Find: _Instrumental
    Replace: _Instrumental


    That worked!
