Hi
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

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?

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.

Even the free TextWrangler does multi-file search and replace on OSX.

In case you didn't have enough options yet, I use Notepad++ :)

Yep, Notepad++ is my primary text editor and works well for this.
TextCrawler is a good one too that is dedicated to multiple search and replace across many files: http://www.digitalvolcano.co.uk/content/textcrawler

Hi,
Thanks Phil for the reminder of how powerful PZ3editor is.
It works on "batch replace perfectly".
