Update unlinked files in invoke code due to file name mismatch

I have found few old codes where developers had names with spaces uploaded to orchestrator.
Now that we want to download those codes from orchestrator to update, all names are changed with %20 and we have to rework a lot to update all the invoke codes section.
All folder and file names with are replaced with %20 whereever they had spaces.

I am looking for a way to get UiPath codes editable in text format so I can do search replace kind of activities.
Please suggest if this is possible in any way without hampering the flows.

Hey @SnehajitDas,

I think this can be achievable by downloading the package from the orchestrator and after that convert the .nupkg File to .zip inside a local folder. And from there open the project folder in a notepad or text editor. You will able to bulk rename or rather edit the workflows.

@SnehajitDas

first have a backup

then you can open xaml in notepad and do replace all

only a different note its not advised to download packages from orchestrator and edit…instead using source control like git or svn makes life easier and these kind of issues also would not occur

cheers

  1. First make a backup of your workflow.
  2. Open the .xaml file in Notepad.
  3. Use Find & Replace (Replace All) to fix the names.

Yeah, I did the same thing and was able to get the updates done.
Thanks for all of your responses.

@Anil_G - Sadly these are some old codes which are no where apart from orchestrator. In fact we feel lucky that the codes are there.
