'In All Files in Current List' - Program Help start.


This option will search for values in each file listed in the file list section.

If no values are found in a file, that file will not be changed.
When values are found, all values in the file will be replaced with the entered replace value.

When several find values are entered (E.g. >>>(aaa) or(bbb) or(ccc)<<<), each value will be replaced with the corresponding replace value. (Multiple find-replace values available with Find N Replace PRO only. See Other Products - Support Future Development)

Before any changes are made, a backup copy of the file will be made in subdirectory repl\backup of the directory to which you installed K-free. Use About on the help menu to see this directory ("Parameters from directory")

Whilst the list is being processed, progress will be displayed in the Status Bar.

Note that progress is shown as % of files complete when each find and replace is quick. However the progress display will change for any file which takes a long time.

When showing progress of find or replace for a single file, the message in the status bar will show:
Replace File nn/mm followed by the Filename (see Status Bar - Show DropDown List Now)

To stop the replace operation at any point, press escape or click on the stop button. The file that is being processed will not be completed. If necessary, the backup copy of the last file will be restored.

All files which were already completed will not be restored. They can be restored using Show Log for Last Replace if required.

After the replace operation is complete a list of files changed, the number of changes made to each file and the location of the backup is shown. Uncheck the box "show this screen after" to skip display of the log after each replace operation. Use Show Log for Last Replace to Check the box again.

The log for the last replace operation is always available using Show Log for Last Replace from the replace menu. From that log screen options are also available to restore individual or all files or to copy filenames to the clipboard.

For each file, you can see a list of all backups made as well as each find-replace criteria and the byte count (file size) before and after each replace. Select the file and select Restore File Backup.

For More Info on Find Criteria see Find. Basic Criteria.

NB. Only Simple Find Criteria are available for replace operations with free version. A Pro version is available which allows complex criteria and multiple find-replace pairs. See Other Products - Support Future Development.
