A global search-and-replace means that the replace is to take effect in all files within the context of the search." It's possible to flag black or white moves with a text editor that supports search and replace. It's easy once you get the hang of it, but it is harder to explain how to do it than it is to do it. Basically i start by replacing all spaces with a unique character or string, the asterisk symbol, for example. Then just replace certain strings with flags, spaces, etc. Regards Dave
