search/replace in sub/sub/sub folders

Post by DOUGS778 »

I have found that the new version seems to be unable search extensive directory systems to find files and make string replacements.

With the prior version this was never an issue.

Today I was doing a 'literal' search/replace, checked the sub box. It returned 10 replacements, when there should have been more than 400.

It's not my syntax, or set up. I am a veteran user of this tool and know how to do this stuff.

as a test I pointed to a half dozen directories one level down, but one level up from where the files exist and the search/replace worked perfectly. So, sub/sub/sub - not working.... sub/sub - working.... odd?

Anyone have this?

This is for wild edit.... I posted it here in error, and also posted in WILDEDIT, where there have no replies, nor has the website responded to my feedback question.

One of the persistent issues I have is the lack of responsiveness from the managers of the website. No one monitors the forums and provides responses or follow-ups.
