search&replace in more files

Post by klima »

Hi,

I have a lot of dirs that contens a file called winec.def
this file have this text:

[GENERIC]
Analysis_Output = \\servente\newtest\ecfiles\DIRNAME

I need to replace the part of string "\\servente\newtest\"
with "y:\"

but I don't know if it possible with one command or macro, because when I try to register a macro, the "search in files" command is disable...

Anyone can help me?

Sorry for my bad english

TextPad can do this
1. From Explorer find all files and open them all in TextPad
2. Search>Replace. \\servente\newtest\ecfiles\DIRNAME with y:\ecfiles\DIRNAME Tick the box "All documents"
