Search and replace text with AKS Text Replacer

February 14th, 2010

We always search for something. When computers entered our life we started searching for files for different purposes. Sometimes we need to search and replace text. You may think that there should be no problems related to text replacement. Well, this is partially true if you know exactly where target texts are located, given that the files are small and there are not many words which need to be replaced. But with giant volumes of information (this is reality these days) replacement of text can take much time. You cannot afford wasting much time in the modern business which is run at a high pace.

To solve problems related to text replacement you need to use a reputable and reliable automated text replacement tool, or text replacer. If you want to save your time and money then use AKS Text Replacer. This simple tool will perform all text replacement and search tasks you might have.

Let’s make an overview of this text replacement utility.

First of all, it needs mentioning that developers from AKS-LABS designed a program in the form of a wizard. It means that even if you want to get lost there you will have no such opportunity. Replacement process has been divided into 4 steps. Thus, all you have to do is to navigate between these steps and perform requested actions, i.e. use options you need and enter keywords.

The first step is about choosing folders which contain files that in their turn may contain keywords to be replaced. Here you have additional options – it is possible to set files and file types you are particularly interested in or exclude certain folder, files and file types. You can also create own list of file extensions you are interested in or you want to ignore.

Step 2 is called Replaces. Here you have to enter words and blocks of text you want to replace along with their replacement words and blocks of texts. It is possible to create replacement groups if you often use certain pairs of words or word combinations.

Users who have information on size of files and date they were created, modified or accessed may use this info to narrow search and make replacement process faster.

AKS Text Replacer will also offer you to choose preferable replacement options. Thus, it is possible to overwrite files, create copies of original files or copy amended file versions to a separate folder.

Search only function – search but not replace

July 2nd, 2009

Sometime you are not sure about what you need to find and what need to replaced. For this very case we have designed a search only function in Text Replacer.

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

    Search - not replace 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?
