Hi everyone,

I need a program that works best in searching and replacing instances that includes selecting folder for faster results. Like for example I want to change

<script type="text/javascript" src="./old.js"></script>
TO
<script type="text/javascript" src="./new.js"></script>

in all files in a folder. All I have to do is select the folder that contains all the files, I mean I don't need to manually select the files one by one in order to change the instances..hope someone can help me with these..thanks in advanced...:)

I use Multi-Replace (http://www.cict.co.uk/software/dev/mrep.htm)

It is the best IMHO.

Yeap, I used Multi-Replace and indeed it's a very helpful tool. But what I want is to just simply select the folder itself without any hassle of manually selecting the files within a folder which is yet evident to Multi-replace..I think you can't directly select the folder in Multi-Replace, you have to do it manually when it comes to selecting the file.

Dreamweaver can do this. Do you have Dreamweaver?

with multi replace you can highlight all your files in the directory and drag them into the program to add them, you have to keep hitting yes or just hold Y

Multi-Replace is best recommended!
