Most text editors come with at least a basic Find and Replace function, but things get a bit more tricky if you find yourself having to modify multiple documents at once. However, there are specialized utilities you can take advantage of to streamline the process.
Windows Replace - Text in Files is one of them, a relatively simple utility that enables you to replace text strings within a large number of documents in one quick operation. It can also function as a batch renaming tool, and it is fairly easy to use.
First-time users should get the hang of things easily enough, as the application’s functions are self-explanatory. You can import one or more files at once, and then modify their order within the processing queue.
Unfortunately, the program does not support drag and drop, a feature that would have made it easier to import new items. Also, you cannot select a certain folder and have the application load all the contained documents automatically.
After adding the documents you wish to process, it is time to set up the text replacement rules. Any number of them can be configured, and the application even preserves your settings for future sessions.
Windows Replace - Text in Files is capable of performing simple replacements as well as processing text content across multiple lines. You can also specify whether or not the program should take text case into consideration.
Alternatively, you can choose to only modify the file names of the source documents, which means the application can be used as a batch file renaming tool.
All in all, Windows Replace - Text in Files is a simple-to-use and versatile program that enables you to both replace text within multiple documents and batch rename files. It is very easy to use, and it features a minimalistic, if somewhat outdated UI.
