Intractive global search and replace ?
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2001 7:42 pm
Hello,
What is the best way to interactively change one string to another in a set of files ?
That is, you specify the root directory, the old and the new strings and you get a prompt for each occurrence in each file whether you want to replace it or not.
Text Pad is my favorite editor for several years now but I find it very painful whenever I need to do such a search & replace.
Also, any recommendation of another tool that can do that will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tal
