I am looking for a utility that will batch change the names in files in a folder.

For instance:

From

":Runtime:Textures:Lululee:Debbie

To:

":Runtime:Textures:Lululee:Lily

I had a utility called Multi Replace but my computer totally bit the biscuit. I got a new computer with Windows 7 and Multi Replace no longer works.

Cheerio

The full version of PZ3editor has that plugin.

Hi Phil,

If I have a folder of mat pose files will it go in and find and replace the names in the entire folder?

Cheerio

I've used EditPad Lite for this sort of thing. Just dragged a whole bunch of files into EditPad Lite and then was able to do a search and replace on alll open files. Not sure what the limites are one how many files or of what size can be open at once. The lite version is for non-commercial usage. For commerical usage you would need the Pro version

@lululee

If you are not afraid of using the command line, here's a powerful tool for you: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/rpl.htm

I use "rpl" (and "grep" to find strings) all the time to mass-change strings in Poser files (even on multiple subfolders). I use linux myself as a platform for Poser, but I believe the link points to a direct Windows port so it should have equal power.
