StRIPlace

If you often need to edit multiple files in order to replace text strings, a specialized utility can save you a lot of time and effort.

StRIPlace is an open-source application designed to replace strings inside one or more files with others provided by the user. It is portable and very easy to use, and it is also capable of modifying file names.

The application can be used to edit a single file and replace every occurrence of a text string with another, but it also allows you to process a large number of files at once. However, only one string can be replaced during each job.

If a folder is selected, you have the option of excluding certain extensions to prevent these files from being modified. Unfortunately, though, you cannot set up an include filter.

StRIPlace can even match the case of the original string when performing a replacement, and you can specify whether or not file names should be altered.

While it may not be the most feature-packed application out there, StRIPlace is remarkably easy to use and consists of a single small executable file that can be launched from any location.

Because it does not need to be installed before use, the program is simple to deploy and will not leave any temporary files or registry entries behind after it is removed.

On the whole, StRIPlace is a very helpful tool for users who frequently need to replace text strings within multiple files and are looking for a more efficient way to complete the job. It offers a decent set of features, although not too extensive, and it sports a minimalistic, novice-friendly layout that takes little to no getting used to.
