Find And Change Text In Multiple Files With Multifile Search & Replace

by on
Leave a comment
Replacing text in a single file is easy; you just open a file, find the text, and replace it with the required text. The process is simple when there is one, or only a couple of files that need to be edited, but what if you have to replace text in more than just a couple of files? Consider there are 500 files that need to be edited. Opening 500 hundred files one after the other, replacing some text in them, and saving them would waste a huge amount of your time, and that for performing such a trivial function. Instead of going through the exercise of opening each file, what you can do is use a software that allows you to find a certain text in multiple files and replace all of it in one go. Multifile Search & Replace is a Java-based application to find and replace text from multiple files at a time. It can identify words used in more than one file, and replace all of the words in one go. It can come especially handy if you need to edit, say, the name of a company in some official documents, because the original name was changed, or change some lower case words into upper case ones. The tool allows you to search files according to folders, and allows you to perform recursive search including sub folders. Apart from searching and replacing words, the application displays the location of files where the text was found, and backups the original files before making any changes, in case you want to undo the operation.

When downloading content from the internet, it is not unusual that you may have multiple copies of the same item in different memory locations, wasting precious storage space. Deleting the duplicate files is a lengthy and tedious process if done manually that requires you to open each file and check if another file with exactly the same contents exists anywhere else in your computer or not. However, to avoid all that work, there are tools available that check selected folders for duplicate files according to different criteria, such as file as, metadata, and resolution for images. NoDupe is a duplicate file and folder finder that locates duplicates in your hard drives, and allows you to delete these dupes, resulting in more free space and less cluttering in your system. NoDupe can locate duplicate files, directories and music files even if they don’t share the same ID3 tags. The application allows you to search for duplicates in local as well as remote locations, select only the duplicates, and delete them all at once. Read More

We have covered a lot of applications that allow you to perform different tasks on files. For example, if you look through the database of AddictiveTips, you will find a lot of Search utilities, software to rename files in a batch operation, tools to compare two or more files and folders, delete empty folders from your hard drive etc. Having a separate tool for each different function creates a lot of clutter in your system. Having so many programs can even slow down your PC. Today, we have an application for Windows that allows you to perform multiple operations on files, all from a unified interface. FileProcessor is an application that searches for files based on user-defined preferences, and lets you perform a variety of tasks on them. It lets you perform actions such as delete, compare, rename, copy, run, print etc, on the search results.

The application lets you search your hard disk with Size, Time and Period filters, and provides a number of predefined file type filters such as BMP, EXE, PDF, TXT, HTML, RES, DLL, SQL etc. Read More

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and the following ten results will be displayed, and if you continue scrolling further, the process will be repeated until a total of 100 results are displayed on the very first page.

When we comes across an unknown file type, it is often required to gather more information about the file online in order to open it in an application which supports the format. Likewise, we also search for our favorite movies and songs to gather synopsis, box art, cast and crew information and more. To search the information on the unknown file type, we open our browser and manually type the search query to perform this task. It can be of immense convenience if this task can be performed from the Windows context menu, like the keyword search options available in Chrome and Firefox. Read More

Search YouTube Without Closing The Current Video [Chrome]

YouTube is an endless source of videos, both entertaining and educational. Regardless of what you watch on YouTube, you always look for more or related videos. While YouTube does suggest related videos based on the video you’re watching, you still search for more yourself and that’s where it gets annoying. As great as YouTube is, if you want to search for videos when you’re already watching one, you have to either open YouTube in a new tab or stop watching the video to search in the current one. YT Background Search is a Chrome extension that lets you search for more videos on YouTube in the same tab that you’re already watching a video in, without having to navigate away from it. It lets you search YouTube in the background; the video you’re watching continues to play and the tab is split into two, the upper panel is dedicated to search and search results while your video continues to play in the lower panel.

ggrep: Grep Based Search And Replace Tool For Windows

Grep is a command line utility which was originally developed for UNIX based operating systems. This text-search utility searches files or standard input for lines matching a regular expression. There are many implementations of grep available. One such implementation can be found in the form of a portable application known as ggrep. It is a search and replace tool to find text strings from codes, log files, and virtually any text file in your system. ggrep supports regex, search by file and folder match and auto detects encoding. The matching text from the search result is displayed in highlighted form and can be instantly replaced by another text string. ggrep, to some extent, has attributes similar to Find and Replace, however, simply being grep-based makes ggrep more effective than the former.

A few days back we covered Local Hero, an app that helps you get answers to any question from experts near you. But the whole location-based thing might feel like a restriction to some people and for that reason, you might consider trying out the latest Q&A app for iOS named Quora. While the app itself is new, the service isn’t. You can find solutions to just about any problem on Quora by inputting your searches in the form of queries (just like with Yahoo! Answers). The official Quora app is free, and comes with a bunch of really helpful features. The app is intelligent enough to voluntarily suggest search topics based on your past searches and current location, and comes with an elegant notification system that ensures that you can see the answer to your queries as soon as there is an appropriate response.

If you are a jailbroken user and want to bring a touch of convenience to your iOS device’s spotlight search, then ClearSpotlight is just the tweak you want. This little tweak makes your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch forget all about your last Spotlight query as soon as you open one search result. This means you will have more room in that area if you are using something like ToDo Notes.

ClearSpotlight is a tweak that keeps the search area completely functional, but just makes everything neater, and just the way it always should have been. Read More

If you are a relatively new Windows Phone 7 user, chances are that you are thinking “What did I miss?” It is common for trends in apps to keep on changing with time.

Leave a comment
Despite the latest update to Windows Phone 7 being a mere beta so far, we have been talking about Mango and it’s cool, new features for quite a while now (like connecting to hidden Wi-Fi networks, media sharing from messages and graphical emoticons). One thing we haven’t discussed yet, however, is Bing vision. Frankly speaking, the capacitive search button in WP7 can get a bit annoying (especially while within an app when you hit it accidentally). But Microsoft put it there for a purpose, and now that purpose just got one huge face-lift. Gone are the days when hitting the search button just took you to the Bing homepage, and in Mango Microsoft has decided to add a lot of new and cool features to the Search menu in WP7. Among the changes coming to the search area in Mango is Bing Vision. In the next update of WP7 you will be able to use your mobile's camera to scan book covers and QR codes, in order to learn more about these products. Read More
