Tools

Search Replace Tool

The following tools operate from the command prompt and are WinNt/XP/2k3 compliant. The tool permits you to search any file and replace the find string pattern with the replace string pattern. The delimiter between the two search/replace patterns is a comma ','. This permits you to use patterns inclusive of spaces.

This permits you to use the following:

  • Long length filenames inclusive of spaces
  • Complex search/replace patterns
  • Ability to search for space only pattern
  • Ability to replace with null length pattern
  • Ability to rename the executable with/without spaces

    • Single Search/Replace

    Syntax: SREPLAC FILENAME,SEARCHSTRING,REPLACESTRING,Case Sensitive/Not Case Sensitive<0,1>

    Case Sensitive - 0

    Ignore Case - 1

    Example: SREPLACE TEST.DAT,TRY,WHYME,0

    Single Search/Replace Download

    Multiple Search/Replace

    Syntax: MREPLAC MASTERFILENAME,SEARCHSTRING,REPLACESTRING,Case Sensitive/Not Case Sensitive <0,1>

    Case Sensitive - 0

    Ignore Case - 1

    Example: MREPLACE TEST1.DAT,TRY,WHYME,0

    TEST1.DAT contains the names of files to be searched. Please note each file name is terminated with a semicolon ';'
