singe command across full site html files or whatever

very quick very efficient but also powerful enough to be dangerous so be careful until confident with

Thank you so much! Works now!

You can do case-sensitive and/or regular expressions on both the search strings as well as the filenames.

Lastly, you can do a find/replace without interactive intervention, or you can edit files one-by-one.

will AFR be able to search/replace one line of code for a multi-lined code? example below:

replace this: <!--siteid="123"; sitename...one-lined string...//-->

with this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
naa_siteid="12345678"; naa_sitename="example.com"; naa_test="no";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://aa.somedomainname.com/naa_1x1.js"></script>

in order for code to work it cannot be on a one lined string.
" <!-- " AND " //--> " have to be on their own line.

thanx,

Yes works as per your needs , I always have confirm replace turned on and run the first 2 as manual to check it gives the result I want then if all ok say yes to replace all

The only issue I have is THERE IS NO UNDO changes so in the beginning I tend to back up site prior to mass changes

It is worth noting the only problem I have ever had is application freezing when I used on a 20,000 page site due to memory leakage , but of all the apps I have purchased over the years I would say AFR has been one of the big time savers

thanx for reply. at 20k freeze up? uh-oh. what did you do after that happened? were you able to pinpoint at what point it froze so as to continue? i'm guessing you F & R 'ed files in segments after that?

i ask because i am probably going to do roughly 200k files.

thanx,

It did not freeze up every time and on one site with 40K pages was fine , but thought you should know about the bug incase you come across it.

It is quite easy to work out where it hangs I just hit alt ctr del to end process and by checking on time file changed just a bit of a pain plus can just use find

but 40k of files just couple of seconds to afr so saves hours

of all the stuff I use my diamonds are AFR and Zenu

hey steve,

i got afr but in need of advice. problem was i couldn't get my script to replace as is (as in, multiple line) so i contacted afr's roman. he told me to uncheck (at "replace" options) "delete trailing CRLFs" for it to work.
when i do that afr ceases to work. (doesn't recognize file) when i re-check "delete trailing..." afr works, although script shows as one continuous line. tried to private message roman again but must be busy.

i'm thinking i should have something check marked or not check marked but don't know what. right now, the only thing i changed from default was i unchecked "replace in MS Office" and checkmarked "save as unix files"
(also checkmarked "confirm before action...)

also, i don't know which is better to use (when it does work) replace, replace with OR replace, insert before/after

any thoughts,
