- Author: vintenat@supaero.fr
- Uploader: vintenat@supaero.fr
- Type: util/shell
-
- 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.
-
-
- 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
-
-
- That's all folks !
