Ok I am on it.
QUOTE It finds and replaces ONLY the FIRST INSTANCE of a string in a file. The S & R function halts after that. QUOTE After replacing a string, it pops-up a message-box saying "Replaced (x) Instances". That is fine - but it keeps reporting that it replaced an instance EVEN AFTER the replacing is over. What I mean is that supposing you've searched & replaced a particular string and there are no more instances of the same string in the file. If you the try S & R again, it still reports that 1 instance has been replaced In the testings that I have been doing, it pops up with Replaced (0) Instances after a complete REPLACE ALL. I presume the replace text you are using creates another instance of the find text. For Example:- Find Text: Adam Replace Text: Madam Source Text: Adam ate the apple. Final Text: Madam ate the apple. It would be easier for me if you could attach the files you were testing on. QUOTE Back-up doesn't work yet QUOTE The S & R function works on executables (.exes) too and dutifully screws them up even if there's NO POSSIBILITY of such a string occurring inside a .exe. I'll include the filters to stop it from doing that. |

The new tool, Search & Replace is ready.
Incorporated most of the features and hopefully bugs would be minimal. You can get it from http://www.ntek.astahost.com/wip/searchandreplace/ |
