Now what happens in the scenario where there is no "$FILE" in the search part, but is being added in the replace?

e.g. if I am searching for:
vwimages/(.*)\.jpg

and replacing with:
vwimages/th_$1.jpg/$FILE/$1.jpg"

The original string does not contain "$FILE" but is being inserted ...

Still doing some work on this... and for some reason the batch replace grid does not seem to like the '$FILE' piece... is the $ a reserved character?

I notice that it seems to duplicate a large part of the text of the document. e.g. I have a 5x5 table... after the replace, I have a 5 x 10 table.

I see... so I should be putting this in the expression builder dialog box.. and not manually... correct?

BTW: It did work...

Mucho thanks..

I've checked through the other posts, and I think I understand how to do a variable find and replace, but I'm missing the obvious it seems...

I have a few html files that have code like this in it...
<IMG src="thumbnails/th_My%20Photo.jpg"

I need to replace it with:
<IMG src="../vwimages/th ...
