How to use findReplace parameter to replace content from all pages in a space

This article explains the usage of findReplace parameter to replace the content from all pages in space using the Confluence Command Line Interface app.

Instructions

1. We can update the content from all pages of a space by using runFromPageList and modifyPage actions.

2. Run the action command from the terminal/command prompt:
   Command:

   --action runFromPageList --space "DEMO" --common "-a modifyPage --id "@pageId@" --findReplace "oldtext:newtext""

   Output:

   Run: -a modifyPage --id 65538 --findReplace oldtext:newtext
   Page 'page1' in space DEMO modified. Page has id 65538.
   
   Run: -a modifyPage --id 32972 --findReplace ldtext:newtext
   Page 'page2' in space DEMO modified. Page has id 32972.
   
   Run: -a modifyPage --id 131106 --findReplace ldtext:newtext
   Page 'subpage' in space DEMO modified. Page has id 131106.
   
   Run: -a modifyPage --id 98306 --findReplace ldtext:newtext
   Page 'subpage' in space DEMO modified. Page has id 98306.

   In the above command "DEMO" is the space key and it replaces all pages in that space with "newtext" where the "oldtext" is found, though the actual page ids are not mentioned explicitly.

   It is recommended to test this scenario in a non-production environment or run the action with the --simulate parameter, to verify the behavior before deploying it on a production environment.
