But, do you know of any program or utility that would globally change something like :

:Runtime:Geometries:*:

to :

C:Program Filese frontierPoser 7RuntimeGeometries*

inside multiple files (preferably using wildcards or regular expressions for greater flexibility) ?

thanks,

Boy -- wouldn't getting that right make life a whole lot easier?

CaptainJack is quite correct that Unix utilities are well suited to this-- but that's not something to play with casually. The "global search and replace" has the potential to be "global trash your files beyond redemption".

CR2 files have some hidden file attributes which have to preserved, and which certain kinds of editing -- particularly non-Windows editing-- have the potential to trash.

I'll experiment with this a bit -- sed runs on Mac just fine.
