 * Hi,
 * I really ne0ed to replace a string by nothing ! I mean I have a lot of images
   link where I have some strange string (5F00_) and I need to remove them. For 
   example image_5F00_thumb_5F00_3F030025.png need to become image_thumb_3F030025.
   png and I need to do it in only 1 action 😉
 * Is it possible to do it ?
 * Thanks,
    William

 * Yep! This is possible with this plugin.
    You can also do a dry run to see how
   many cells in the database will be updated.
 * Hope that helps!

 * It’s nice! I just tried but when I’m looking for this for example: 5F00_ or clip_5F00_image002_5F00_thumb_
   in order to change it by nothing or by clip_image002_thumb_ but the plug-in doesn’t
   find any occurance 🙁
 * Any idea ?

 * Hi, are you searching in all tables or just a few? Is it possible it could be
   in separate tables?
 * I tested with the strings you mentioned above and it was working fine for me.
   Is it picking up any other changes if you search for something else via dry run?
   Or is it giving you any errors?
