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.
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 , otherwise leave the search box empty and press .
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.
