Witzend ReplaceInFiles Add-in for Visual Studio Short Description:
Add-in enhancement to Visual Studio's Replace in Files (file search and replace)
Witzend ReplaceInFiles Add-in for Visual Studio Long Description:
The Witzend ReplaceInFiles Add-in for Visual Studio .NET supercharges Visual Studio's Replace in Files feature, giving you fast one-step search and replace for all project source files, whether you work in C++, C#, or Visual Basic. The ReplaceInFiles Add-in attaches so transparently to the Visual Studio environment that the only outward change to Visual Studio is a new Replace in Files command added to the environment's Tools menu. Simply choose the command to activate the ReplaceInFiles Add-in.
The ReplaceInFiles Add-in offers a wealth of features that give you plenty of control over the search process:
* Date and size filters. You can restrict a search to files within a specified range of size or date. For example, search and replace only in those files between 10K and 50K in size and dated within the last month.
* Case sensitivity and whole-word searching. Specify case sensitivity (find Abc but not abc) and whole-word filters (find any but not anywhere).
* Confirm replacements. The ReplaceInFiles Add-in lets you confirm each replacement before it is made. Each located string is shown highlighted in context, allowing you to click a Yes or No button to confirm or disallow the replacement.
* Search multiple projects in a single step. Do you work with large solutions that contain many projects or subprojects? ReplaceInFiles intelligently recognizes multi-project solutions and quickly scans through all files in each project. For precise control, the Add-in's Project view lets you omit individual files from the scan.
* Search any folder. The optional Browse view lets you search-and-replace anywhere, even in files that aren't contained in a project. Navigate to where you want the search to begin and ReplaceInFiles does the rest. It can "drill down" through nested subdirectories, ensuring that all contained files are scanned.
* Automatic file backup. The ReplaceInFiles Add-in can automatically backup each file before revising it. The feature is intelligent, backing up only revised files and giving each the same name as the original file with a numeric addition.
* Online help. The interface is very intuitive for the Visual Studio user, but if you have a question, an extensive online User's Guide is always available. Or you can activate the "question mark" button on the ReplaceInFiles dialog and click any feature for a detailed description.
