Thank you for your interest in Search and Replace!
Create a directory and copy all the files on disk into it. If you are running
Windows 95 or NT, create a shortcut to SR32.EXE. Windows 3.1x users, add SR.EXE
to a group in the Program Manager.
The SR.ZIP file contains the latest version of Search and Replace for Windows (sr.exe), as well
as the 32-bit version of Search and Replace (sr32.exe). The 32-bit version runs on Windows NT
and Windows 95, and was tested on VFAT (Windows 95's file system), and NTFS (Windows NT's
optional, more secure file system).
New features in v2.6-2.61 include:
- Egrep-style regular expression support for Search and Replace (for syntax details see Help file).
Main differences are:
^.$ operators are not (yet) supported
*+? operator must precede an expression enclosed by () or [] (such as *[123] or +(Windows)).
Otherwise, the operator is assumed to match any/all characters from beginning of line or to
the end of the line.
[0-9] will span all numbers (whereas egrep only matches the first one). To match only one, use ?[0-9].
- Some problems with read-only files on a network were resolved.
- Some speed improvements were made in the 32-bit version (sr32.exe).
- Error messages mention the file name.
- A Setup executable is now provided for the registered version.
- Command-line arguments (for running from a DOS shell) are be supported for
some settings (see help file - Contents).
- File currently processed will be displayed on the main window.
New features in v2.5-2.54 include:
- A display bug in the Windows version which showed line numbers, but no line detail on certain
lines for large files.
- 32-bit version (SR32.exe) now uses the Registry instead of SR.INI file to store and retrieve
information.
- Application can now be used as a File Find utility by not inputting a Search String.
- Efficiency and size improvements.
- Improved help file
- A utility for moving the search history information from the SR.INI file to the Windows 95/NT
registry(where the program reads it from). This utility is not included in the release but it
can be downloaded from http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/funduc and from various forums
on CompuServe (Search for INI2REG.ZIP). It is called INI2REG and it is FREEWARE.
- Credit card ordering information is now available. Also, the homepage URL is now included in
the documentation and the E-MAIL address for customer support is also in the documentation and
the About dialog.
- About dialog clearly identifies whether the application is meant to run in Windows 95/NT or 3.1x.
Also, the Windows 3.1x application no longer runs under Windows 95/NT to avoid misuse which could
result in loss of long filename support.
- Menu items were added (both in main menu and pop-up) to allow users to Open with Default Viewer
rather than Associated Viewer.
Also, menu items (both in main menu and pop-up) were added to allow opening a file with a
viewer the user selects.
- Mnemonics problem was fixed in the Main Window (Alt+T was used for Srch String and Touch).
Also, mnemonics were added to the View Context Window buttons.
- A limit of 3000 files processed was removed from the Windows 95/NT version (SR32.EXE). The
Windows 3.1x version (SR.EXE) still can process only 3000 files at a time.
- The View Context window now remembers the position you left it in. Also, the Page Up button is
always disabled when at the top of the file.
- The character '_' is now a valid word character for the Whole Word Only feature. For example, if
you Search for "DEBUG" with Whole Word Only on, the program will not find any "_DEBUG" lines, only the
ones with the word "DEBUG".
- A Use Binary Codes mode which allows you to enter tab and linefeed characters (as well as any
other) binary characters by using the special character "\".
Example: Search String: #include "stdafx.h"\r\n#include "sr.h"
Replace String: #include <stdafx.h>\r\n#include "srreg.h"
You can now enter a string as follows: "\0xa3\0x09abc".
A character picker dialog is provided to save you from having to use an ASCII chart. See the "..."
buttons next to the Search and Replace Strings.
When you run a binary mode Search/Replace, the found string is shown in a rectangle (because
non-printable characters are not displayed, you cannot see where they are).
- The help file is updated with the latest features.
- In Windows 95, the SR icon now appears on the Task bar.
- The Select Path dialog now shows long directory names.
Features planned for future releases include:
- More than one Search/Replace strings and files selected by you for processing will be compiled
into a script to be executed by the program.
- Strings displayed before and after the Search strings (for clipboard copy and Output File)
will be configurable.
- Remaining regular expression operators will be supported.
The same help file is used for both versions.
