Serious Bug?

3 months ago | Jeremy (Member)

First lemme say thanks for the awesome plugin! I have found what I believe to be a pretty serious bug though. When I choose the replace button (rather than search and replace), if it finds multiple instances of the search term in the same page, then you replace them one at a time, it gets screwy.

For instance, if I'm searching for "articles/" to replace with articles.php it behaves like this:

First instance in post 233:

http://www.mydomain.com/articles/ becomes http://www.mydomain.com/articles.php (correct)

Second instance in post 233:

http://www.mydomain.com/articles/ becomes http://www.mydomain.carticles.phpes/ (very wrong)

Third instance in post 233:

http://www.mydomain.com/articles/ becomes http://www.mydoarticles.phpicles/ (even more wrong)

and so on...

It seems like it's just doing a simple character count to do the replace and when the number of characters before the search term changes, it doesn't account for that. Pretty serious bug I think. Luckily I ran the search again after, noticed the problem and was able to fix it manually. I could see how you might not even notice something like this though if you weren't double checking.
