Default Find and Replace with Formatting

Nope. It then replaces it with "3/0". Any other thoughts?

it should take it as text and not convert to a date.

I have a bunch of cells that have measurments in them formatted like this 3'-
0". I would like to change these to 3/0 but when i do a find and replace
(even after setting the format to text for these cells) it turns them into a
date. is there a way to do a find and replace but leave the format as text?
