Any good Scan and Replace Program?
 

Can someone recommend a Scan and Replace program that can handle thousands of files.
Either Unix or Windows based.
I would imagine a Unix version would be faster, I need to do "blocks" of data not just a word or two.

Thanks

Okay with all these threads about this new annoying skin, I need to do a bump here.

There has got to be someone out there with a solution :(

perl is your friend.

I know the program is simple if you know how to do it and yes I think a Unix tool would be best. I once had one but have misplaced it.

There has got to be something out there...

I use macromedias home site, the find and replace in that can do wonders.

If you need to do lots of files, use the check box for subdirectories, and folder location. Also you can add or block extensions too.

Try search and replace 98

Its for windows and will handle just about anything you can throw at it

Thanks Chio, I am currenty using Macromedia but it has been running for 18 hours and has a loooong ways to go. I think Unix is the only answer :Oh crap

Ober 60k files :(

vi for unix

editpad for windows

A tool called rpl for unix.. hit me up on icq if you need help w/ it 254342256

Here is a quick shell script that might help you out:

for fl in *.txt; do
mv $fl $fl.old
sed 's/find/replace/g' $fl.old > $fl
done
