Features

Of course, there's usually replacing tool in every editor software(Find or Search and Replace), such as MS Word, Dreamweaver, Ultra Edit, Edit Plus. But this replacing tool can do a more powerful and professional replacing work (that's also why I wrote this software, because those replacing tools doesn't make me satisfied):

How to Replace:

  1. Select your files.

    Specify the folder contains the files you want to replace. Sometime you may need to collect or classify your files to a working folder for replacing.
    The files may have the same extension name, you can choose the extension in list box, or choose other type and input the file extension. You can also select all files if they are in different types.
    If you select a kind of file with some extension, only the files listed will be processed, while other files in the folder but not listed will be left.

  2. Specify Replacing Parameters(Key words or expressions)

    Select your replacing mode, for simple replacement of some key words, choose normal mode; if you want to replace some part of a file or paragraphs, choose from-to mode; otherwise if you want to do complex replacement and know some Regular Expression, you can choose the Regular Expression mode.
    Please see details of the three modes at Replacing Modes
    Input key words or expressions you want to replace in 'Replace' box, then the result key words or expressions in 'Replace with' box.

  3. Find

    You would know if and how many your key words or expressions has been found in files.

  4. Replace

    That's very simple, press the button, the replacing process then begins. Replacing counts and status will be shown.
    (If you are processing a lot of files, it may take a little while. The time it will cost depends on you files amount, size, your computer's speed, and the key words you inputted. Caution, bad-written expression will halt the work.)
