Hi Ben,
We have a free program called "Search Plus" that can do a search and replace
on workspace files for an entire directory.
To get a free copy, download it from http://www.spatialplus.com/products.htm
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sue.

>Dear Listers,
>Does anyone know of a way of replacing string sequences within multiple
>files in one go.
>For example, I have about 50 workspace files which I need to move to
>another project directory (along with the associated *.tab files etc.)
>and so I need to edit the workspace files to point to the correct
>location of the *.tab files. These files will all reside under the same
>'parent' or project directory, so it's only the parent directory name
>that needs changing within the workspace files.
>Now, it's very simple to do this for a single file using a search and
>replace within WordPad or NotePad for example, but as there are so many
>of them I am after a faster solution. Someone told me I could acheive
>this from within Windows Explorer, but I can't see where or how.
