This software allows you to search for text or binary phrases across multiple files and directories and replace them with other text. It includes support for regular expressions, the ability to view replacements in context, and various scripts and command line parameters. Additionally, it has an HTML mode for advanced user customization.
If you need to search multiple files and directories for a specific text or binary phrase and replace it with another, this software is a great choice. It offers extensive regular expression (egrep) support, as well as extras such as inserting filenames, sequential numbering, DOS environment variables, word wrap, boolean searching, Unicode support, and more.
One of the standout features of this software is the ability to direct search results to a file or view them in color-coded HTML. This can be incredibly useful for quickly identifying matches and understanding where they are located within a large dataset. Additionally, replacements can be viewed in context before they are made, using scripts and command line switches for frequent and complex operations.
The software offers a command line switch that makes it possible to run the program silently without the GUI. Filters, complex paths, and boolean expressions may be used to determine the files to be processed, and multi-line search and replace is easily accomplished. There is no limit on the number or size of files that can be processed, making this software a great choice for large projects.
Other features include an "html mode" for making character code substitutions for html special characters, the ability to preserve file dates (optionally), and the ability to write changed files to another path. There are also built-in file operations and an undo function for added control.
Finally, the software supports international versions and can be used to touch files and perform replaces on contents of the Windows clipboard (including reg exp). All in all, this is a highly versatile and powerful tool that can help streamline complex file processing tasks.
