- VB SNR
- Introduction
-
- VB SNR helps you make global changes to files which make up a
- Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows project. This can save you a
- lot of time when you need to change variable, control, or control
- options, or need to change any hard coded drive/path
- specifications. This can be a life saver if you have moved a
- project and the data controls no longer work in the development
- environment. VB SNR can also perform in search only mode,
- showing you exactly where your search text is located, be it in a
- form, module, or MAK file. Of course, all these files must be
- stored in ASCII form.
-
- VB SNR can perform the same search/replace over multiple projects
- as it will optionally automatically search sub-directories for
- project files. If you have multiple projects which share common
- BAS or FRM files they too will be processed. While VB SNR is
- performing its "magic", 2 log files are optionally maintained.
- On for each project and one which includes all changes made to
- all projects (for quick review of your search/replace results).
-
- Searches can be either case sensitive or insensitive and
- optionally can include the MAK file itself.
-
-
- VB SNR Evaluation
- You are granted a 15 day evaluation period to try VB SNR. If you
- use it after this evaluation period you must register it. Please
- see the on-line help system for details about the license
- agreement and the registration process.
