Guest Talal Itani Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Hello, I need a Find and Replace utility that works across multiple files. I found many such utilities, yet I need it to ask me, if I want to change an occurrence or not. Basically, the utility will show me the text, then asks me if I want to change it. Please let me know if you are aware of such a tool. Thanks. T.I.
Guest Richard Urban Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: Find and Replace Utility ? Notepad will do that for plain text files.

I have used it myself for doing this with text files that had nothing to do with any website I was making. There is a free trial of Dreamweaver CS3 if you want to use it for this. ss.

There are different buttons on the saerch oanel to search and replace in many ways. I think that the free EditPad Lite has the same search features, but you will need Pro for searching binary files. http://www.editpadpro.com/ ss.
Guest Don Schmidt Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: Find and Replace Utility ? I create and edit my website in Publisher 2000. It left justifies the webpages and in order to center all of the html pages in just a click of the mouse I use ReplaceInFiles. It's a free program that is a must have on my list. http://www.emurasoft.com/index.htm -- Don Vancouver, USA "Talal Itani" <titani@verizon.net> wrote in message news:S93ui.675$V53.256@trnddc08... > Hello, > > I need a Find and Replace utility that works across multiple files.
