AW: [NF] Tool for editing multiple files for huge search/replace operation
And, BTW, that's just a 3Liner in VFP: FOR i = 1 TO ADIR(aFiles, "*.txt") STRTOFILE(STRTRAN(FILETOSTR(aFiles(i,1)), "OldText", "NewText"), aFiles(i,1)) ENDFOR Or, maybe for easier disassembly: FOR i = 1 TO ADIR(aFiles, "*.txt") cFile = aFiles(i,1) ? cFile cContent = FILETOSTR(cFile) cContent = STRTRAN(cContent, "OldText", "NewText", ) STRTOFILE(cContent, cFile) ENDFOR wOOdy "*´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´.

Yes it does. I use the "Code References" tool from FoxPro a lot. I stopped using the global search and replace because it can destroy the files.

But alas, my memory is failing me and I can't recall what the tool was called. Anybody know of such a tool to handle large search/replace across several text files in a same folder or even perhaps cascading tree of folders? tia, --Mike [excessive quoting removed by server] ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/5bd7a562.70...@gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
