Source: Software Programming Helper: File Substring Replacement Utility
Software programmers will eventually run into situations where they have to replace strings in their code. If it is a large project this can mean to edit code in dozens of files located in multiple directories. Chances are good that files are overlooked which would turn into additional debugging hours until the error is found. The File Substring Replacement Utility has been designed as a software programming helper. It works with all computer languages that use source files that can be edited in text editors which includes the popular web languages php and html.
The computer software supports both renaming operations on file contents but also on file names and supports the use of the two wildcards (*) and (?). The interface of the application is tab driven and the user is working from the left tab to the right to configure the renaming operations. Source files will be selected in the first tab. This can be done by typing them in, pasting them in or using a file browser that unfortunately cannot load the contents of directories into the application. Files can be excluded by dates.
The next tab defines the file replacements. It is possible to define multiple strings to be replaced in here. The options in the third tab contain several important settings like matching only whole words, enabling wildcard use, case sensitivity or limiting the replacements.
