The last replacements made can be reversed in some instances using a batch file named "SRUNDO.BAT" that is automatically generated with each replace operation. SRUNDO.BAT is written to the same subdirectory as backup path (see Replace Options). You should run SRUNDO.BAT manually from Explorer, the Start Menu 'Run' function, File Manager, or a command shell.
SRUNDO.BAT should be used with care and you should not rely on it as a guaranteed safety net for recovery from poorly planned replacement operations.
Keep the following cautions in mind:
SRUNDO.BAT is not created if you do not have a Backup Path established in Replace Options.
For Script operations involving more than one replacement, SRUNDO.BAT will only reverse the last replacement step.
SRUNDO.BAT is intended for advanced users.
SRUNDO.BAT cannot currently be run from within Search and Replace itself. You must run it manually.
In some network situations, the success of SRUNDO.BAT may be affected by your network access parameters and drive mapping permissions. For example, under some networking arrangements, although Search and Replace work fine with UNC paths, DOS access those same UNC paths may not be permitted. Consider mapping your network paths to a drive letter.
