Automated replace of text is just what you need
Use of special automated replace tools may seem unnecessary to you if you do not use computer for business purposes or never work with much information. Replacement of text can be a pain in the neck if, for example, you have to replace several words and word combinations in 10 or even maybe 30 files. Imagine what would happen to you if you have to do everything by yourself, i.e. open file by file to introduce changes. You will go nuts! But you company needs you to be alive and energetic! So, if you want to get rid of all problems related to text replacement, use AKS Text Replacer developed by AKS-LABS.
This small program will surprise you with efficiency and excellent performance. There is a misconception that cheap and simple programs are not effective! Well, AKS Text Replacer dispels this myth.
In order to evaluate the program and its features you need to perform at least one search and replacement. Developers from AKS-LABS designed the program in the form of a wizard. It means that you need to take steps in your search and replacement process. There are 4 such steps altogether, and each of them has its mission.
The first step is choosing folder where you think files with keywords are located. It is important that you can specify file types (set masks) you are especially interested in. You can also exclude certain folders, files and file types from the search process. For example, you can look for all txt files only, or all files except for html pages.

Use special automated replace tools
The second step requires you to enter replacement pairs. These may be words, word combinations and blocks of text. Please, make sure you entered the words correctly. If you need additional replacement features, you may check such boxes as Use special chars, Use regular expressions, use letter case. Special chars include decimal coded symbols, hex coded symbols etc. it is also possible replace words in the beginning or in the end of the files.
Step 3 is optional. If you have information on file size and date when it was created, modified or accessed then these options will be very helpful for you.
In the end you choose replacement options. AKS Text Replacer can either overwrite original files, create a back up copy of the original file or copy amended files to a special folder. If you use certain replacement parameters rather frequently you can create a bat-file and start replacement by clicking on this file.
