A Decent Search Replace In Multiple Files Tool

TextCrawler screenshotJust wanted to share this tool with you.

I needed to search/replace text strings in some 600 files, and I've been downloading a bunch of crappy utilties that doesn't deliver. TextCrawler does this one thing and it does it good. A few features listed from their homepage:

  • Find and Replace across files
  • Fast searching, even on large files.
  • Simple to use interface
  • Flexible search parameters
  • Text Extractor - rip text into a new file
  • Search and replace using Regular Expressions.
  • Regular Expression test tool
  • Regular Expression library - Save your searches.
  • Create backup files
  • Highlighted search results
  • Export Results
  • Batch find and replace operations

Also, it's freeware :)
