PowerGrep Search and Replace: "cannot make replacements using read-only converters"

Question

I get an error on PowerGrep software when I try to Replace the content of some files: "cannot make replacements using read-only converters"

What can I do? Can anyone help me a little bit?

are the files read-only per chance? – Jean-François Fabre Oct 28 '16 at 19:48 — Jean-François Fabre, Oct 28 '16 at 19:48

I find the solution:

In the left menu, on File formats to convert to plain text, you have to choose from that combo "Writable proprietary formats".

Then, press the section [...] and add NEW (format). In my case, I add .txt. Click ok. And then run "REPLACE"
