Find and replace, text parser on multiple files

[JasonSummers]

Hello,

I need to create an application that can perform a simple "find and replace" across multiple text files. The text files are large and numerous. >300 files totaling > 100 mb.

Does anyone know of any examples that have been published or familiar with an easy way to do this?

Thank you,

JG

Hey Jason,

That's a pretty common task. Check out these 2 articles:

First, how to recursively find the files you want:

Then how to Search & Replace text within the file:

That should get you going.
