Replace a character name in all events

Is there a way to replace a single word (such as a characters name) in all text boxes within events? all at once preferrably.

I'm not sure if it's due to the fact that you want to rename your main character, but this tab could help for the future:
Anyway, the fastest way would be to open data/Map001.json and use Replace - character name for whatever.

@Poryg VX Ace does not have any .json files. It uses Ruby.

Ace or MV, in any case the code is \N[n], with n being the actor index, so \N[1] would always display the name of the first actor for example. If you want one of these display a particular word, you can just set that word in a dummy actor entry and then use the code. With the actor name option you can also modify it as will. I know a game that uses this for a password system where the player has to actually type the password in.
