HTML find and replace

[cactus1000]

Who can recommend a product other than FrontPage that will perform find and replace functions within the HTML code (as opposed to just the text). I need to find and replace an obsolete link that appears throughout my website, so I need something that can search the whole site at once.

Dreamweaver. Gives the choice of source or text to change. And goes site wide - quite nice.

I use Funduc's Search and Replace. They even have a free demo you can try out -- it works for multiline pieces, as well as little things.

Yummers!

Cheers,

Adobe GoLive 6 (

)would be best, put if you don't have that kind of budget a good text editor like TextPad will can do it.

You can find textpad at any popular free/shareware download site, including

http://www.download.com

.

TextPad can do an OS-level search-n-replace?

Curious,

TextPad is also available at

http://www.textpad.com,

but although I'm a total TextPad freak, I'd suggest FunDuc (I've never tried it), simply because of the multiline find and replace feature that TextPad can't do...

Yeah, you can do multiline find-and-replace, you can find and replace binary content, you can basically do OS-level grep stuff for Windows. (well, there are some interesting grep functions that I haven't tried in Funduc's SNR, but if I really wanted grep, I'd make a Linux box...).

I've used Funduc's software to easily edit entire sites. I can tell it to save all its edited docs somewhere else, or to do the opposite -- put all OLD docs in an archive folder. Handy, a snap to learn, still around, still supported, and very reasonably priced! When I submitted my budget for "web authoring tools" at one employer, the total software bill for the year was, like, sixty bucks. I was told if I was going to spend less than a hundred bucks for any one piece of software, to not bother putting it in the budget and have 'em just petty-cash it out.

Good luck!

Cheers,


Edward

When there is a problem there is a way... As they say.

You could write an VBS script to perform an string replacing over an multiple files.

for Windows Scripting including library of scripts.

alternatively you can look the Unix like Grep solution from

http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

I hope this helps you to find an solution.
