CK or FO4Edit mass record changes

[Shadowrunner340]

Is there a way to tell the CK or FO4Edit to find and replace a value in multiple records with a new value?

 

For instance, I'm wanting to change the crafting recipes for several objects with a common resource by replacing that resource with another.

CK, no. xedit has scripts, all you need to do is google. Or write them if you know Pascal.

Select the records you want to change and right click on them and hit 'compare selected.' Right click on the subrecord which you want to change for one of them in the view, and right click on it and hit 'copy to selected records.' If it's a component in a crafting recipe, it will add the new <thing> to every selected recipe, but you can still delete the old <old thing> by selecting it in one record, right clicking and hitting 'remove from selected records.'

Cool, thanks! I'll give these a try.

OK, I got as far as 'Copy to selected records', then it throws an error 'twbstruct.addifmissinginternal is not implemented'. It doesn't seem to work when I select a specific line in the subrecord, but the whole subrecord. But that makes the quantity uniform across all the selected records. Is there any way to preserve the quantity and change only the reference?

 

EDIT:

 

I grouped by ingredient and quantity, that seems to have preserved everything I needed.
