- Subject: v07i024: patchexe, replace strings in files
- Summary: Replace all occurences of a string in a file, such as exe
- Date: 15 Jul 90 04:26:28 GMT
-
- This is a program which converts every occurence of a string in a file
- to another string of the same length. It's written in Pascal, and source
- is provided (but no comments).
-
- I renamed it patchexe, because there is a patch program which is well
- known.
-
- Usage:
-
- patchexe [-v] filename string1 string2
-
- filename is the file which is patched.
-
- You must have length(string1) = length(string2).
-
- Without the verbose flag, every occurence of string1 is replaced by string2.
- With verbose on, every occurence of string1 is displayed on screen, along
- with it's context, the patch is only made if you give a go ahead.
