- 1. EFR Description
- ===================================================================
-
- Extended Find and Replace has been designed with developers
- in mind. This application is vary powerful, but because of this power,
- EFR is very leathal! Please make sure everything is entered correctly
- before clicking Start! EFR is unforgiving to human error. I can not
- stress this enough. Please use carfully and use it at your own risk.
-
- EFR is a mass search and replace utility that will recurse
- sub-directories for compatible files, find the search criteria and
- replace it with the string desired.
-
- With little if any setup time EFR can assist you in replacing
- email address or links or anything else in several different text based
- files in several directories in a matter of seconds.
-
- I have tested EFR on a commercial web site with 464 pages.
- 389 pages were edited and 2643 entries were replaced in 8 seconds.
- Results will vary but this was a mid size site with ALOT of links that
- needed to be changed. What a time saver!
-
- Last warning:
- BE CAREFULL DON'T SCREW UP THE ENTRIES AND CLICK START!
-
- OK On to the good stuff.
-
