TextCrawler from DigitalVolcano Software is a tool for finding and replacing text in many files at once, which is useful for programmers, web designers and anyone who maintains large sets of text files. A search covers whole folders with filters for file types, and the results show every matching line before anything is changed.
Changes text in hundreds of files in one operation.
Regular expressions are supported, together with a tester for building and checking patterns. Text can also be extracted from files and sorted, trimmed or deduplicated, and search and replace operations can be saved as batch jobs for reuse. ANSI, UTF-8 and UTF-16 files are handled. The Pro edition adds command-line use, while a limited Free edition is for personal use.
