- Replace_It! v1.1 Copyright ⌐ 1995 Digital Processes
-
-
- WHAT IT DOES:
-
- Replace_It! searches for and replaces (or deletes) multiple text strings
- in multiple files. Great for updating entire projects in one pass for any
- programming language which uses ASCII text files to store source code. It
- also replaces or deletes strings in Delphi .DFM binary files for transparent
- component swapping.
-
- Several predefined replacement lists are included to beautify Pascal and SQL
- source code. One list allows for quick and simple conversion from Delphi
- database components to InfoPower components.
-
- Replace_It! also performs find only searches and ASCII hex dumps of binary
- files.
-
- Use it to:
-
- 1. Rename - change object, function, procedure, variable and key word names
- (any string within a line of code or text may be found and
- replaced by a new string)
- 2. Delete - delete any string within a line of code or text
- 3. Find - find only mode produces a detailed listing of all occurrences
- found by filename, line and position (offset in binary files)
- 4. Beautify - change programming language reserved words to all upper case,
- all lower case or lower case with first char of each word
- capitalized (these are built-in default replacement lists).
- 5. Component Swap - in Delphi to change a component to an enhanced descendant
- component. This eliminates having to physically remove the
- ancestor, replace it with the descendant and set the
- properties all over again. Where one component used to be
- the new one appears! This is by far the greatest time saving
- feature of Replace_It! (there is a built-in replacement list
- for converting a project over to InfoPower components)
-
-
- PROCESSING OPTIONS:
-
- 1. Verify each replace, even in Delphi .DFM files, on an item by item basis.
- 2. Limit search to whole words only on an item by item basis.
- 3. Make search case sensitive or insensitive on an item by item basis.
- 4. Delete rather than replace a string being searched for on an item by item
- basis.
- 5. Generate ASCII readable HEX dump files from binary files.
- 6. Search and replace or delete strings in Delphi binary .DFM files.
-
-
- WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO USE IT:
-
- Replace_It! can easily pay for itself after the first use on many medium to
- large sized projects which spans many source code files.
-
- Delphi / InfoPower Example:
-
- Try converting a multi form generic Delphi database project over to one using
- InfoPower database components. It could take all day by hand but by using
- Replace_It! the whole process takes less than 15 minutes because Replace_It!
- also searches and replaces strings in Delphi .DFM binary files! For example,
- after you let Replace_It! replace a Delphi TTable component with an InfoPower
- TwwTable component you will see a TwwTable component on the form where a
- Ttable component used to be!
-
- SQL Example:
-
- Consider searching for and replacing (changing) a stored procedure name
- referenced in hundreds of SQL stored procedure and trigger source code files.
- Replace_It! can do it in less than 10 minutes and you'll be sure you didn't
- miss a single reference.
-
-
- WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE IF YOU REGISTER:
-
- You will receive a printed manual/user guide, tech support via CompuServe
- Email and the full implementation of Replace_It! which includes the ability to
- search for and replace strings in Delphi .DFM binary files. You will also be
- entitled to upgrade to new versions of Replace_It! for considerably less than
- the price of a first time registration.
