Replacing text is a very serious job that requires responsibility and persistence. AKS Text Replacer is all you need to successfully replace words and blocks of texts. This tool can give you a 100% guarantee that if the files of a specified folder contain entered keywords they will be inevitably found and replaced.

AKS Text Replacer is a very simple tool which however is very effective and fast at text replacement. The whole process takes 4 basic steps (one of them is optional). So, let’s review them and analyze how you can make an effective use of AKS Text Replacer in case you need to replace text in html pages.

You begin replacement process with identifying folders in which AKS Text Replacer will look for plain text files containing words that needs to be replaced. Here you have several available options: you can set folders, files and file types which you are especially interested in, as well as folders, files and file types which you want to ignore. It is possible to create a list of extensions (file types which you want to ignore or which you want to find).

Then you proceed to entering words and blocks of text which needs to be replaced. It is possible to create replace groups (pairs of words or blocks of texts which you often use). Programmers would appreciate use of special features like use of regular expressions and special chars.

If you are aware of the files size and date when they were created, modified or accessed then use options offered at step 3.

Finally you are able to choose offered replacement options (overwriting files, creating new files or saving back up copies of the original files).

If we are talking about replacement of text in html or htm pages, you can replace blocks of html code. For instance, it is possible to change font style or size in 20 web pages, create new links, change font color etc.

Manual text replacement will take much time and effort. Besides, this method is extremely ineffective. In order to guarantee excellent results you need to use replace automation tool. Before choosing one you need to make sure that it can fulfill necessary tasks.

AKS Text Replacer is such a program. This is a very simple and easy to use text replacement utility, which, despite its simplicity, makes replacement process very fast and efficient. Besides, AKS Text Replacer is inexpensive software with a user friendly interface.

The whole text replacement process take 4 steps altogether. Let’s review each step and give a brief characteristic of most important and helpful features.

Use an effective replace automation tool - AKS Text Replacer

Replace automation saves your working time

Step 1. Here you have to specify folder or folders in which AKS Text Replacer should look for files containing words to be replaced. Thus, you choose any directory, including subfolders. AKS Text Replacer offers you to ignore certain folders, files and file types. If you make use of excluding options AKS Text Replacer will ignore them in search and replacement process. At the same time you can specify in which folders, files and file types you have a special interest.

Step 2. Replaces. Here you enter words or blocks of text which you want to replace and words or blocks of text you want to see in the amended version. For you convenience you may create Replace Groups (for instance most frequently used word pairs). Additional options such as ignoring letter case, using regular expressions and using special chars will make replacement more efficient. However, these options are helpful for programmers and IT specialists rather than for ordinary users.

Step 3. Date and size options. If you know approximate size of files which contain keyword you may enter it. The same applies to date on which files were created/modified/accessed.

Step 4. Replacement options. Here you choose actions AKS Text Replacer should take (overwriting original files, copying modified files to a folder etc).

However, if you use AKS Text Replacer from AKS-LABS you will certainly solve any problems related to text replacement. The program will seem to you very simple, as it is simple in fact. At the same time, there are a number of functions which makes text replacement convenient and effective.

One of the key advantages of AKS Text Replacer is the fact that you can actually see what words or blocks of text are being replaced. Thus, you can control this process (unlike replacement of words in MS Word). Besides, you do not have to manually open all the documents which you think may contain keywords. AKS Text Replacer will do everything for you. Moreover, specifying special parameters you can narrow search and thus make the entire process even faster.

Use a reliable text replacement tool

AKS Text Replacer is a powerful text replacement engine

First of all, it should be noted that AKS Text Replacer will offer you to specify locations and set search options. In fact, you can “tell” the program which folders, files or file types you want to exclude and which ones you want to pay a special attention. Moreover, you can create a list of masks which you either want to use in your search or ignore. This is step one.

Step two implies entering of words or blocks of text. You will need to enter words (blocks of text) you want to replace and their actual replacement words (blocks of texts). If you have additional requirements to text replacement you may use such options as use special chars, use regular expressions and ignore letter case. It is also possible to create Replace groups.

Step three offers you to enter file size and date if you are aware of such information, while step four proposes to choose replacement options: overwriting files, creating back up copies of original files and copying modified files to a specified folder.

AKS-LABS offers you another solution. Save your time by using AKS Text Replacer. This is a very simple program, which, however, can do much work for you. AKS Text Replacer can both replace and look for words and blocks of texts. The only thing you have to do is to specify a folder in which AKS Text Replacer would look for files containing words you want to replace. Of course, there are additional options and features which make replacement process more accurate and time efficient.

Let’s describe the whole procedure of word replacement with AKS Text Replacer.

First and foremost you have to choose a folder in which AKS Text Replacer will look for files containing keywords. You may set additional parameters, i.e. ignore certain folders, file types, as well as specify certain folders and file extensions you are especially interested in.

Use AKS Text replacer to replace blocks of text

Then you proceed to the most important stage – entering words you want to replace and replacement words. It is also possible to replace blocks of text, abstracts, paragraphs etc. You may also create a Replace group, i.e. save pairs of words which you replace regularly. Below in the interface you will find three check boxes: ignore letter case, use regular expressions and use special chars (however, the latter this does not mean Unicode support). Besides, you will also have the option of pasting special char (like decimal coded symbol, HEX coded symbol, searching in the beginning or at the end of the file etc.)

If you are aware of the size of the files and dates they were created then proceed to the 3^rd step. There you can use this information to specify certain files (for example not greater than 25KB) or exclude them from the search.

Finally, it is possible to choose replacement options. AKS Text Replacer can either overwrite files, i.e. replace text in the original file, place modified file in the selected folder or create a back up copy of the original file.

Sometimes it is really necessary to replace certain words or even phrases which may be contained in multiple files and folders. Imagine such a situation. You need to replace the word “search” with the word “find” in all files of a particular folder. What is a traditional way to perform such a task? Of course, this is a manual mode – you would open files one by one and replace them manually.

Do not waste your time! Use AKS Text Replacer, and you will save so much of your time! First of all, it needs saying that the program is very easy to use and has a very simple interface, so you will need very little time to learn operating it. AKS Text Replacer has two main functions: replacing and searching for words or even blocks of texts. AKS Text Replacer is a batch text replace tool, as it performs replacement not only in individual files but also within directories.

Let’s make a brief overview of AKS Text Replacer and describe the general procedure.

To begin with, you need to specify folder in which AKS Text Replacer will look for keywords to be replaced. Here you can also set file extensions (mask) in which AKS Text Replacer searches for words (for example, you can set *.txt or *.asm masks). If you want you may create a list of file types open this list in AKS Text Replacer (files with extensions option).

Use AKS Text Replacer as a batch text replace tool

AKS Text replacer is a reliable batch text replace tool

If a source folder has several subfolders and you want to ignore some of them (AKS Text Replacer will not look for keyword in such folders) just choose a relevant option and set a path to the folders. Equally, you may ignore certain files and file types.

Having set the location options, you need to enter words or even maybe blocks of texts you want to replace. Thus, you have to enter source word and its replacement. By the way, it is possible to create groups of word pairs which can be used in the further work with the program. This is minimum required information to start a replacement process in AKS Text Replacer.

For instance, you can make AKS Text Replacer to search for all files that start with some text.

• Use special characters: ##FileBegin## and ##FileEnd## in the “Text to find” field
• You can use also use the same special characters in the “Replace with” field

If using ##FileBegin## or ##FileEnd## in the “Replace with” field, then the program will insert the replace text in the beginning or in the end of the file.

• ##NewLine## – New Line
• ##TAB## – TAB
• ##65##  – Decimal Coded Symbol (this will be “A”)
• ##$65## – HEX coded symbol (this will be (“e”));
• Replace in file beginning and end – ##FileBegin## and ##FileEnd## special symbols

These special insertions can be used in text to search or in text to replace. Text replace helps with decimal and HEX codes:

Text Replacer will help with seaching and replacing decimal and HEX coded symbols

1. Run AKS Text Replacer
2. Specify search path and keyword
3. Click “Search only” button:
   

   Search - not replace button

4. Text Replacer will search for your keyword and once something will be found it will show the dialog, which will suggest you standard actions (No to file, No to folder, No to all), so you should tell the program, if you want to find more files like this or not. “Yes” buttons will be disabled, as this is “search only” mode, not replace:
   

   Search only mode - preview. If you want to search for more files like this?

But sometime we have questions like “I’m user of your … software and I’ve downloaded your text replacer – what is it? Why do I might need it?”.

Below are few key ideas about what kind of software is text replacer, who might need it, and how to find utility that you need:

• Text replacer utility allows to scan specific files, find some text inside the file and replace it with another text.
• Why not do this manually? If you have 2-3 files, you can do it manually, but if you have 20-30 files, or it is repeating task, then get a search and replace utility.
• Why yours software? Why not freeware? We’d recommend to start with freeware software in order to understand what kind of features you need. In short: most freeware software will not have a preview function, their user interfaces unfortunately are not so friendly as they should be, most likely you will not be able to search for multi-lines, there will be very limited filtering options and ability to exclude something from search.
• Why yours software and not some other commercial text replacer? Different work processes requires different search and replace utilities, we don’t know what specific is there in your daily routine and how you’d like to automate it, so trying several tools, including ours is a good idea. As stated above AKS Text Replacer is a features-rich text replace utility, also, we created products like Compare Suite and RoutineBot, so we know a lot about needs of webmaters and software developers.
