Find and Replace Multiple Values from a Text File

[NI-Bob]

 Overview

This example searches for an array of items and replaces each one with a corresponding term in another array.

Description

This example will prompt the user for a text file.  It will then search through that text file locating values specified by the "Terms to Replace" control.  As long as the "Replace all terms?" control is true each value found within the text file will be replaced with the value in the corresponding index in the "New Terms" control.  If the "New Terms" control is left blank the values will be deleted from the text file.  The program will then prompt the user to save a new text file with the changes that have been implemented.  It will also display the number or replacements made for each value and the resulting text for the text file.
