TexRep

Handling a large quantity of text files on a daily basis might mean having to process or replace standard text strings inside multiple documents at a time. There’s not really a default method to do this, and advanced alternatives like TexRep come with a variety of filters, supported file formats, and overall ease of use.

The setup process is short and uneventful, letting you check out the set of features before you realize. Once launched the interface shows up, and it doesn’t take a lot of time before you’re acquainted with all it has to offer. A couple of tabs separate individual file selection from the folder scan option, while the filter panel always remains visible.

On the one hand, the application can be configured to only process a selection of files. This mode lets you navigate to the target location and pick files of interest. File support makes it possible to select files under formats like TXT, HTML, HTM, PHP, ASP, INI, DIZ, and ME. However, you can apply the filter to include all formats, or only one.

As for the folder scan mode, it processes all supported files inside a selected folder and all its subdirectories. However, this method also lets you apply size and time filters to narrow down results. Subfolders scanning is not mandatory and can easily be toggled.

The main filter panel remains the same. A couple of fields need to be filled in with the target string and new input. Strings can be case sensitive, the entire word to be targeted, and whether or not to create backup files in case something goes wrong. Note that original files are processed at the press of a button, with log delivered in a plain text pad.

All things considered, we can state that TexRep is sure to come in handy for replacing text strings in multiple documents at a time. The two modes provide a great deal of flexibility, while filters make sure you modify only files of interest.
