findReplaceAllTextInSlide

function findReplaceAllTextInSlide(
  slide: GoogleAppsScript.Slides.Slide,
  findText: string,
  replaceText: string,
  matchCase: boolean = true
): number;

Slides offers find-and-replace across a whole presentation; this narrows it to a single slide, which is what filling one templated page at a time needs. Matching is case-sensitive unless told otherwise.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`slide`	`GoogleAppsScript.Slides.Slide`	The slide to work on.
`findText`	`string`	The text to look for.
`replaceText`	`string`	The text to put in its place.
`matchCase` (optional) `= true`	`boolean`	Whether the search is case-sensitive. `true` by default.

Returns

number — how many occurrences were replaced.

Throws

Exception	Condition
`SlideNotFoundException`	the first argument is not a slide.

Examples

In use

const slide = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides()[0];

const replaced = findReplaceAllTextInSlide(slide, "{{ client }}", "Acme", false);
