Features

The Witzend ReplaceInFiles Add-in for Visual C++ 5 and 6 gives you fast one-step search and replace for all source files in a Visual C++ project. 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 Edit menu. Simply choose the command to activate the ReplaceInFiles Add-in. Behind the scenes, the Add-in communicates with Visual Studio via COM interfaces.

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 allows you to 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 nested folders. ReplaceInFiles optionally “drills down” through nested subdirectories, ensuring that all files in a project are searched.

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 C++ user, but if you have a question, an extensive online Users Guide is always available. Or you can activate the “question mark” button on the ReplaceInFiles dialog and click any feature for a detailed description.

Version 2.0 of the ReplaceInFiles Add-in now offers even more:

Text that spans lines. Locate strings that start on one line and end on another.

Find non-printing characters. Find text containing any ANSI character using normal C-style escape sequences like \n for newline and \t for tab.

Backup folder. Optionally store a project’s backup files in a single subfolder.

Condensed pathnames. Ensures you can always read a filename, no matter how long the path. A tooltip shows the complete path.

 

Technical Specifications

All of the ReplaceInFiles Add-in’s core functions are written in highly-optimized 32-bit assembly language, ensuring minimum size and maximum speed. A hundred replacements in a dozen source files, for example, take less than a second on a typical mid-range machine.

The ReplaceInFiles Add-in communicates with Visual Studio using COM interfaces to merge with the environment. The add-in file is 90K in size with a base address designed for rapid loading. All settings persist between Visual Studio sessions through the use of a small INI file.

After downloading the Setup program, simply run it to install the ReplaceInFiles evaluation version.  Setup suggests an installation folder where Developer Studio can automatically find the add-in files, and also offers to display an included Readme file. You should at least browse through the Readme, which contains interesting details about your new ReplaceInFiles Add-in.
