Board index » Windows Vista » Find and Replace Utility ?

Windows Vista25
Hello,



I need a Find and Replace utility that works across multiple files. I found

many such utilities, yet I need it to ask me, if I want to change an

occurrence or not. Basically, the utility will show me the text, then asks

me if I want to change it. Please let me know if you are aware of such a

tool. Thanks.



T.I.

Notepad will do that for plain text files. What files are you working with?

This is a weird answer, but Dreamweaver can search and replace multiple text

files and can preview and report all changes. I have used it myself for

doing this with text files that had nothing to do with any website I was

making.



There is a free trial of Dreamweaver CS3 if you want to use it for this.

I have just checked and EditPad Pro can do this too when you select the

option to search all open files. There are different buttons on the saerch

oanel to search and replace in many ways.



I think that the free EditPad Lite has the same search features, but you

will need Pro for searching binary files.

I create and edit my website in Publisher 2000. It left justifies the

webpages and in order to center all of the html pages in just a click of the

mouse I use ReplaceInFiles. It's a free program that is a must have on my

list.
