        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:

            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).

            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

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