Advanced Find and Replace

Renaming a file, editing a link or a template, and changing the text within a document might not sound like a chore, but things get turned upside down when the number of editable files is multiplied. Webmasters usually undergo the find and replace operation, keeping their sites updated and fresh. Doing that by hand will take hours, yet there are plenty of software solutions designed for this particular action.

Advanced Find and Replace could be of the best programs out there when it comes to renaming tasks. It might seem complicated at first, but it has a quick learning curve.

All the app's arsenal is neatly crafted to offer its user a quick and straightforward search and replace experience. One can start by determining the search area, as in files or folders, right within the Find tab. If you wish to limit your searches to a certain category of items, you can apply one of the masks covering MS Office files, webpage-related formats, or just simple TXT. Of course, if you have a different selection of documents, you can go with the "All files" mask.

Follow that up by choosing the search path, and customize the process by applying rules like case-sensitive or whole words only. Decide on the type of the look-up, and go into the advanced part of the process if you must. Once all the Find conditions are met, you can click the Execute button.

Switching to the Replace tab allows you to input your actual changes. Use the upper tab to jot down the text which has to be found, and the bottom one to input the replacing segment.

For those who need to replace multiple items, the Batch Replace tab will surely come in handy. While the batch UI has a more minimalistic layout, getting around how it works shouldn't be an issue.

In summary, Advanced Find and Replace looks to be the type of S&R utility that caters to most users' needs. From simple find and replace jobs to intricate operations, this tool could prove its value from the first launch.
