Replacing words in .TXT Documents

[viruz99]

Hello ,

For replacing words in a .TXT document , we can open the TXT file , then use the replace option.

BUT is there any way to replace items in many .TXT files at same time.

E.g :
I have 10 text documents in a folder and i want to replace '' DDDD'' by '' CCCC'' in all of them.

Is there any quick way of doing it or a software/script ?

Thx

try notepad++ , open all documents and find and replace the words!

I think there is an option for selecting alot of the same words and changing em all the a different one in Notepad. Replace All?

make a app in VB or script in PHP to do this. This would be damn easy

select the lines you want to search for and, without losing your selection, click on CTRL+F and click on search button without modifying the text in search box.
that should work
