Using V 7.3.2

Is there an easy way to search and replace through all scripts and bindings in a project?

Yes, just press Ctrl-F in the Ignition designer. You have the ability to search all scripts and bindings.

Sounds like the replace function isn’t escaping the “” for you. We should fix this, but in the mean time, try replacing with:

“BLAH\BLAH\BLAH”
