Tool to Change Text on multiple files

[Jesus Angeles]

Hi,

Let's say, instead of changing text in just 1 file, say, change all 'aaa' to 'bbb' in file ccc.txt, I want to change all 'aaa' to 'bbb', in all files in all subfolders in folder 'ddd'.

Do you know of such useful tool?

(I apparently didnt include the non-java codes during refactoring by eclipse, so I am now faced with this headache.)

If you want to do this programmatically in Java, check out TextTools and AwkTools.

Otherwise, I'd use sed or awk from the command line (available in CygWin and UnxUtils on Windows)

Thanks for the reply. I am currently trying out windows-based 'Neo Replace'. It seems useful so far.
