Subject: MI Search & Replace
Dear Listers,
Does anyone know of a way of replacing string sequences within multiple
files in one go.
For example, I have about 50 workspace files which I need to move to
another project directory (along with the associated *.tab files etc.)
and so I need to edit the workspace files to point to the correct
location of the *.tab files. These files will all reside under the same
'parent' or project directory, so it's only the parent directory name
that needs changing within the workspace files.
Now, it's very simple to do this for a single file using a search and
replace within WordPad or NotePad for example, but as there are so many
of them I am after a faster solution. Someone told me I could acheive
this from within Windows Explorer, but I can't see where or how.
Please help!!
TIA
Ben.
