Thank You for the information. Just a quick question, Is there an easy way of doing above task rather then manually changing it one by one ?

Sure... could be done with a one-off PHP script or simple Craft plugin doing exactly what you need it to.

<p>I have <code>&lt;img src="/path/file-to-be-replaced.png"&gt;</code> in a Single-Line Text Type in a Table Field Type which is inside a matrix. Now I want to replace all of them through <code>Find and replace</code> option. But when I use <code>&lt;img src="/path/file-to-be-replaced.png"&gt;</code> and <code>Yes</code> in Find and Replace Fields respectively then nowhere it is replaced. However a task runs saying <code>Replacing “&lt;img src="/path/file-to-be-replaced.png" /&gt;” with “Yes”</code> but still nothing happens.</p>

<p>Could anyone please help.</p>

I guess this might be because `<img src="/path/file-to-be-replaced.png">` must be storing in some other format in the database.

I have `![](/path/file-to-be-replaced.png)` in a Single-Line Text Type in a Table Field Type which is inside a matrix. Now I want to replace all of them through `Find and replace` option. But when I use `![](/path/file-to-be-replaced.png)` and `Yes` in Find and Replace Fields respectively then nowhere it is replaced. However a task runs saying `Replacing “![](/path/file-to-be-replaced.png)` but still nothing happens.

Could anyone please help.
