Best search and replace software discussion

sajman99:
AbteriX, FileReplace looks pretty good, but... (1) I don't speak German- darn it! (2) The unregistered version--unlike MultiFind and TextCrawler etc.--has some serious limitations on the number of searched/replaced terms.

But I sure wish they had an English version so I could fully evaluate it.

sri:
I haven't checked all the posts in this thread...I use Replace Text (formerly known as BK ReplaceEm) a lot.

At its core, Replace Text is essentially a text search-and-replace program. However, unlike the search-replace functionality of a standard text editor, Replace Text is designed to operate on multiple files at once. And you need not only perform one search-replace operation per file; you can setup a list of operations to perform. If different groups of files need to have different operations performed on them, this is no problem either. You can also specify a backup file for each file processed, just in case the replace operation didn't do exactly what you wanted.

The best may be Finders Keepers, but I am not too sure that the program hasn't been abandoned. And I find it weird that you have to first trial the program before you can be told what the price is. Also I am concerned that the activation procedure seems to fit a "one machine only"-license.

The program is written by the author of the program "Book Writer".
