F@#$! Please help I made a mistake - find and replace across a set of files - GoFuckYourself.com

Wolfy · 01-03-2005, 03:38 PM

How do I do that? the files are .html, and I made the same mistake on all of them- - ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL OF THEM!!!!!! Can I do a "find and replace" across the whole batch of files? How?!

Jace · 01-03-2005, 03:38 PM

homesite has a NICE find and replace function

NaughtyRob · 01-03-2005, 03:41 PM

xclusive · 01-03-2005, 03:43 PM

what program do you use?

MickeyG · 01-03-2005, 03:45 PM

Best Search and replace on the planet. Lets you replace paragraphs of text at a time.

your welcome.

Wolfy · 01-03-2005, 03:45 PM

I have most programs, using DW at the moment.

Yes, how do you do it please?

Webby · 01-03-2005, 03:47 PM

Depending.. you may want to also have a look at either..

(a) Search And Replace
(b) CodeSwitcher

Wolfy · 01-03-2005, 03:56 PM

Basically - I have a folder with about 200 pages I just finished editing, and I screwed something up in the process - so I need to search and replace across the whole folder in every .html file. How do I do this in DW?

Oh shit, I have only done it on one page. Someone else will need to tell you how to do a whole folder.

Wolfy · 01-03-2005, 04:03 PM

yeah I have a knack for screwing things up beyond most people's normal range of comprehension :P

Try this , i just used it to do exactly what you need done.

Its a demo , but it works fine..

Replaced link text on 500 pages

pornguy · 01-03-2005, 04:05 PM

DW is probably the best bet if you made them there.

mortenb · 01-03-2005, 04:11 PM

Tom from Tomsnewbiebooster made a nice little tutorial on how to do batch replacements.. http://www.tomsnewbiebooster.com/sr-win-tutorial.html

Paco, of Large Cash. · 01-03-2005, 04:14 PM

1). Open one of the documents which resides in the folder with all the others.
2). Click EDIT>FIND AND REPLACE, or simply CTRL-F.
3). FIND IN: Folder - click on the folder (once you have opened the folder simply click SELECT.
4). SEARCH FOR TEXT: enter the EXACT text (include spaces if need be).
5). Pick INSIDE TAG or NOT INSIDE TAG -- Also, from the next pull down, pick the ANY TAG option.
6). REPLACE WITH: enter the new text.
7). pick your options (I always use MATCH CASE!)
For the next step I use FIND ALL, not REPLACE ALL so I can verify the files.
all done.

Jace · 01-03-2005, 04:17 PM

open them all up in homesite, click search and replace...enter the before text, then the after text....then hit go

Antonio · 01-03-2005, 04:26 PM

by far the best tool ever:

let me know if you're not fixed I'll upload it for you

Antonio · 01-03-2005, 04:32 PM

btw it does not reqire installation
you just copy 5-6 tiny files into your folder and you're done (170 kb total - just checked)

Wolfy · 01-03-2005, 05:31 PM

Ok, I tried that srwin program, that does the job fairly well. Only problem is I can only do one line at a time... How about this.

What do you guys use to do the same type of work, go through a whole folder full of html files, but add (for instance) meta tags to the whole batch?

Rorschach · 01-03-2005, 05:38 PM

$ man sed

Wolfy · 01-03-2005, 05:38 PM

ex: if I want to take this part of the files (a.html, b.html, c.html, d.html, etc) -
<html>
<head>
<title>some page</title>

and replace it with
<html>
<head>
<title>some page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 3.0.3" />
<meta name="keywords" content="vbulletin,forum,bbs,discussion,jelsoft,bu lletin board" />

or whatever happens to be going there, of course.

How do you do that? Do any of the programs alre3ady mentioned do that?

Homesite. extended find and replace. Just highlight what you need to replace, it will put it all in the top box cr's and everything.

In the bottom box put what you want to replace it with. Click html files and do sub dirs, select the main dir and hit go. Just don't fuck up a second time or yer really fucked.

check out my post wayy above. I already posted the software you need. It will let you replace blocks of text within subfolders and will fix your problem 100%

Top Jimmy · 01-03-2005, 05:39 PM

Macromedia bought homesite, and incorporated homesites extended into DW.

It should work the same. all the options are on the side. Not sure I ain't lookin' at it.

Good luck

Sosa · 01-03-2005, 06:03 PM

hey guys I have a simliar problem... I have a lot of lines of code I need to replace on about 90 pages. But they are in each of their own sub directories. Who got a program do do search/replace of HTML code and look through subdirectories for .html files.

Sosa · 01-03-2005, 09:30 PM

killshot · 01-03-2005, 11:21 PM

I have no idea how he did it though..

CodeSwitcher.

On the condition that.... the code to be replaced on the 90 pages is unique and not contained within any other pages of these directories.
