Ready Replace is an easy to use, flexible and fast batch search and replace tool. You can search for a string and replace it with another string in file contents of any file or in file names. Simply drag and drop the files you want the replacements to be done from windows explorer or copy and paste the files with Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v. Select whether you want to replace in file contents or in the filenames. Search for and replace with any string you like: any text, special characters, tabs, linebreaks or any ASCII characters. Before performing the replacement, Ready Replace tells you how many replacements are pending for which file. You can save replacement tasks for future use and undo replacements.
