REQUIREMENTS :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kickstart 2.04 or better.
INTRODUCTION :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I never found a multi-files Find/Replace feature in any text editor
I have ever tried on my Amiga. That's why I wrote MultiFR. It isn't a
great piece of programming art, but it helped me a lot on some occasions
and I suppose it can be the same for other people. That's why I decided
to release it now.
USING :
~~~~~~~
MultiFR is an only CLI tool. Its command line template is :
FS=FIND_STR/A,RS=REPLACE_STR/A,FILES/M/A,
HFS=HEX_FIND_STRING/S,HRS=HEX_REPLACE_STRING/S,CI=CASE_INSENSITIVE/S
where :
- FIND_STR is the string to be replaced (surround it by "
characters if it contains exotic symbols like a comma or a colon)
- REPLACE_STR is the string to replace with (surround it by "
characters if it contains exotic symbols like a comma or a colon)
- FILES are files to be scanned (wild cards allowed)
- HEX_FIND_STRING switch indicates that the given find string
is written using hexadecimal format
- HEX_REPLACE_STRING switch indicates that the given replace
string is written using hexadecimal format
- CASE_INSENSITIVE switch indicates that the search stage will
be case insensitive (by default, it IS case sensitive)
Note that a string written using hexadecimal format is something
like "304A" (which corresponds to the real string : "0J") . No leading
"$" character needs to be added.
Each scanned file is shown, and a dot is printed next to its name
each time MultiFR finds and replaces a string.
That's all folks !
TECHNICAL :
~~~~~~~~~~~
Compiled with Amiga E v3.1a registered. Sources included.
FUTURE :
~~~~~~~~
MultiFR always satisfies my needs but some extras features may be
added easily if needed. Just send me a note by email if you want such
improvement.
HISTORY :
~~~~~~~~~
1.0 : first release
1.1 : added support for hexadecimal string format for cases where
_VERY_ exotic symbols (like tab or enter) are needed
1.2 : now case sensitivity/insensivity is supported
