// Search and replace a string for one or many concepts attributes (name, documentation)  
//  
// Roadmap:  
// - when using Regex, implement global replacement if multiple occurences  
// - when the replacementString is a Regex, some corrections and improvment still needed
//  
  
//  - Clear the console for any new message which may occur  
console.show();  
console.clear();  
  
//  - Prompt for the concept attribute to scan  
var attributeName = window.prompt("Which attribute is to be scanned for string replacement:","name");  
  
//  - Prompt for the string to search  
var searchedString = window.prompt("Which is the string to search:");  
var regexYorN = window.prompt("Is the searchedString a RegEx (Y or N):","N");  
  
//  - Prompt for the string type entered
