Carpe looking for a programmer - Guinness - 10-04-2006 im starting the conversion of all the asp pages to php pages. to do that I need a good "multi file text replacer" tool. so something FREE that will replace a certain line of text into another line of text in all files (of a certain type) in one folder. otherwise i have to do this by hand, file per file... not gonna happen. any programmers amongst the carpedians? need an input field to input what string (containing " and < > ) to replace an input field to input what to replace it with an input field to specify the file extension of the files this replace is needed (.asp) (<i>input field for the new file extension for that file</i>) and a field to specify in what folder to look, then it has to do the replacing in all the files in that folder. (<i>and would be handy if it changed the extension from when done</i>) Carpe looking for a programmer - dazzo - 10-04-2006 http://asp2php.naken.cc/download.php Any good to you?

If you don't mind the file names being made upper case and they're already all 8.3 format, this will work and create .BAK backup files of all the changes. It assumes the files are all .php. If they're something else, substitute it in the penultimate line. It uses a [ to seperate searched for text and substitute text.
