The Customize Search/Replace Session Dialog

The Customize Search/Replace Session dialog is used to setup the basic parameters needed by TDEFileReplace to work. It consists of two tabs, General and Advanced.

The General Tab


TDEFileReplace General tab

When you want to begin a new session the first step is to click on the Customize Search/Replace Session button. Then you must enter the base path and a sequence of shell-like wildcards to use as filter.

Then you could set some useful options, like searching in all the subfolders including limiting the max depth of searching, doing a case-sensitive search, enabling commands and/or regular expressions[1], doing a backup copy of each file before replacing.

If you want to start searching, you can put a string in the search box and press Search Now, otherwise leave the search box empty and press Search Later.

The Advanced Tab


TDEFileReplace Advanced tab

The Advanced tab allows you to set up some useful options to restrict the search to a subset of your target file tree. You can set restrictions on the size, access date and ownership of the files to be searched for.



[1] Please note that regular expressions and commands could slow down the speed performances.
