File Substring Replacement Utility 12

File Substring Replacement Utility (FSRU) performs search and replace operations with multiple strings in multiple files. It was designed specifically for computer programmers working on large projects with many source code files, however any type of document folder can be used, including HTML. Search and replace operations can also be performed on filenames (mass renaming). A detailed log is kept of every substring that is found and replaced. Case-insensitive, whole-word, wildcards, and command line searches are supported. FSRU is a professional, rock solid program - dont trust your records to anything less! Features * Works with all versions of Windows® 98, NT4, 2000, ME, XP, 2003, and Vista. * Not only can search and replace operations be performed on the contents of one or further files, but on their filenames as well. This is very useful for the automated mass renaming of files. * The Whole Word option can be used to ignore matches that occur inside a word. For example, amp would be ignored if found in example . * The question mark and asterisk wildcards are optionally supported in search and replace strings. * The search-only option permit you to preview the changes before they are made. * Works on any type of file, including binary files. The records can be located on a local area network. * Permits case-sensitive or case-insensitive searches. * Optional Prompt on replace mode supported. * Includes a instrument for normalizing line-breaks and trimming whitespace from the end of lines. * The search and replace strings are allowed to be canonicalized in the style of either URLs or HTML. This permits the representation of special characters. * A MS-DOS command batch can be executed before or after the operation. * The number of replacements can be limited to a certain number. * The line numbers on which the operation is performed can be limited to a certain range. * All parameters are checked first for errors before the operation begins. including invalid directories, no records match the criteria, unentered information, duplicate search strings, unequal number of search and replace strings, replacement string is the same as the search string, etc. A warning is given if a document folder was specified further than once or there are two identical replacement strings. * The operation log contains the start time, elapsed time, total lines in each file, total lines processed, total number of altered files, total number of records processed, total number of occurrences of each string, total number of all occurrences, and total number of lines that contained occurrences. * Blazing velocity - processes approximately 70,000 lines per second on a 3 Ghz. Pentium 4. * Great care is taken when doing changes to a file. The old document folder is renamed to a temporary document folder for safe keeping. The replacement is then written and verified. If no errors occur, the temporary backup document folder is deleted. Otherwise, the backup document folder is restored and the error is reported. These steps help ensure that data never gets lost. * A thorough Help document folder describes all features in detail.
