Replace in Files
Thursday, October 27, 2005
Today I needed to replace the same text on about 100 text files. I had to perform the task on a fresh server with no software installed and I didn’t feel like loading it up with something bloated. I came across a freeware utility called - Replace in Files. It is tiny and fast!
Is this the most compelling thing you can think to write about????? Good Lord, I am going to delete this link from my favorite places if you don’t start writing something a little more provocative!!

Also, Visual Studio has global find-and-replace, too. Just a thought.
