Easy Search-and-Replace in Text Files
TextSweep is a simple but powerful application for searching and also replacing text in multiple files, quickly and easily. Using an elegant, intuitive interface, TextSweep allows you to select a directory, search for files containing the term, enter a replacement term if desired, and see the changes instantly.
Why TextSweep?
- Faster than opening many files in a text editor and doing individual search/replace operations.
- More intuitive than other dedicated search-replace tools that feature an overwhelming variety of options and/or a complex interface.
- Less error-prone than using command-line programs to do search/replace operations.
- Thorough user documentation via the "Help" menu.
- Highlight all search/replace terms in data display.
- Safe to use because all replace operations are easily undone.
