SUBJECT: atw: Multiple text string find and replace in multiple
documents
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a tool where you can do multiple text string find
and replace in multiple documents, with priority on the multiple text
string rather than the multiple documents.
I found a seemingly fantastic tool, Replace Text
(http://www.ecobyte.com/replacetext/), which would seem to perform
both functions easily but it is no longer supported and I notice it
mentions that there is a problem with Windows 7 so I'm assuming the
fact that I can't make it work in Windows 10 is to do with lack of
upgrade. Such a shame because it seems so powerful and I cannot
understand why there does not seem to be an equivalent either free or
paid.
My sister is looking at what she can do in Powershell but I wondered
if anyone knew of a tool for non-programming types. I realise you
could do a macro in Word but I want to do it for quite a large number
of strings and I imagine Word wouldn't really like that very much. I
think a specific tool would work much better. There's textcrawler but
as far as I can tell that searches single strings in multiple files.
Regards,
Petra
