MassReplaceIt

I've used this puppy mainly to selectively replace the contents of HTML files I created in iWeb. For this, it is IMHO an ideal tool! Changing contents 30 files just takes a few seconds. And that's for multiple changes per file. Fast enough. Just use finder search to select the files I want in a hierarchy of folders, then drag&drop them on massreplaceit. (that's how you can do nested folder/treewalk for those who asked for the feature) You can have multiple sets saved for various repetitive tasks, so even if a more complex search-and-replace is needed to modify a file (or files) which normally would take a 2-step approach, it can be done. With ease. The fields can take quite lengthy pieces of text (I haven't ran against a limit yet), which makes it very easy to have f.e. the META values in a HTML file be replaced by something I want. For me it's an ideal side-companion to iWeb.

Awesome app, saved me hours of work. I happily donated for the developer's great work.

Super handy find/replace utility. Event better, a responsive and helpful developer! He even put together an AppleScript for me to help automate some things I was trying to do with the app.

Searched for five days to find a tool that replaces multiple words and there was nothing. I was pulling out my hair then I found this! 2006 but still works perfectly in 2017! Highly recommend!

“Long Path Tool” is very helpful for this error ! best solution for your problem.

This worked like a charm. I used it to replace eval(base64_decode()) malware in a WordPress installation. It found every instance and removed it all perfectly.

Clear, easy to use and does a great job, thanks!
