WildEdit

If you ever need to make the same changes to many files at once, then WildEdit will save you a lot of time. It is an interactive tool for power users to edit a set of plain text files in a folder hierarchy, filtered by wildcards. This makes it ideal for editing web pages and software source code, or reformatting log files and newsletters. It is not suitable for editing files with proprietary binary formats, such Microsoft Word documents.

You simply specify the search text, optionally using a regular expression, the replacement text, and a wildcard filter, then let it run. This process can be repeated as often as is required, and up to the last 10 changes can be undone and redone.

WildEdit is available from this web site on a try before you buy basis, so please download your trial copy now, and find out just how productive you can be.

Please note that you will not be able to edit files larger than 64 KB, until you purchase a license.WildEdit is an easy-to-use application for anyone who needs to make the same changes to more than one text file. If you had to make these changes in each file manually, one by one, you would waste a lot of time. Thankfully, now there’s a solution.

With WildEdit, you can edit several plain text files at once, which is an especially useful feature for anyone who edits source code or formats registries and newsletters.

How does it work? Just enter the old text and replacement text, choose the search parameters, and let WildEdit do the rest. This process can be repeated as many times as needed. You can even undo and redo up to the last 10 changes.

WildEdit can only edit plain text, so it’s not compatible with Microsoft Word documents, but Perl and POSIX documents are fine.

The entry fields can also be re-sized. It’s even possible to save edits to keep a record of all the changes you make in each session.

Are you tired of changing one detail in dozens of files one after the other? Do you hate to modify a small piece of text in thousands of copies? Have you made a programming command and you have to fix is lots of times? Don’t worry, WildEdit will give you a hand.

Simplify the modification of data

This application is capable of searching for a text chain in any file that we indicate it to, and once found, substitute it for another. Thus, we can automate many things. And what’s more, we can undo up to 10 changes.

To start working, WildEdit will ask in which folder it can find the files that contain the text, followed by the fragment that it has to look for (a telephone, for example) and its substitute (the new telephone), after this, it will start working and in a few seconds we will have all the text updated.

What’s more, we can indicate a series of filters, by kind of file, codification, etc…. to make sure that WildEdit finds and changes exactly what we want it to.
