4 years of use...This product saved me thousands of work hours. easy to understand and very powerful The developer also fixed a bug i reposted too, he responded very fast. thanks
Works pretty good

My only issue is that I have to scan through X number of files to find the files that were updated as a result of the multi-replace. I'd rather have a confirmation of only those files updated rather than all files scanned. But maybe that's just me. Otherwise, no complaints.
Did exactly what I wanted.

Used this application to quickly find and replace token strings in 190 files. The application worked perfectly and replaced all the strings correctly. The interface is simple to use: 1) identify what files you want to validate, 2) Identify the type of file extensions you want to validate, 3) identify the text you want to replace. Thats it. With this information the application quickly searches all files and replaces the necessary text accordingly.
Simple but powerful

Simple to use but I love that it allows you to specify multiple folder trees to operate on. Search and replace plain text or use grep functions. I’ve used several similar tools over the years, and this one is the best I’ve found.
• New 'Find' section to operate without string substitutions
• Improved layout
• Improved graphics
• Totally new log/report in Find area and in Replace area
• Improved Drag&Drop area
• Improved internal functions
• Improved settings
• Various bug fixes
