      The Visual Studio editor can do it... :-D Sometimes I feel like I'm a USB printer in a parallel universe.

        Hi Mel. UltraEdit[^] is a great text editor - not free, but cheap (around $30 last time I bought it). It does find and replace across files (among numerous other features).

          As Navin says, Visual Studio .NET does it. If you have Visual Studio 6 there is an add-in that does it. Can't remember what it's called but it may be on codeproject somewhere. If not, it's on codeguru.com. Another alternative is TextPad (http://www.textpad.com[^]). Like UltraEdit, it's low cost but also the evaluation version is non-expiring - similar to WinZip, but you'll be regularly prompted to register it. Kevin

                    I don't trust any Window's application. I prefer to open all files manually, read them and replace all instances of text with something else. Once I'm done, I reopen all files and read them once more to make sure I correctly replaced all files that I wanted and left all those that I didn't intact. It's best if you can charge this to a contract. :omg:

                        Excellent recommendation. UltraEdit has been my text editor of choice for many years now.

                          My favorite is Search and Replace by Funduc 3.7. Very powerful, but it's $25 shareware. Brian
