MassReplaceIt

Doesn't work with word files

I downloaded the program, dragged and dropped 252 files to change the contents of, defined what copy to change (from x to y), and then it said it did it - but the files did not change at all. It WOULD save me hours of work, if it did was it said it would do. There are no additional instructions than screenshots on this page (which anyone could infer by looking at it once opened), so I have no idea what else to do. How does it work, if it only says it made the change (without actually making changes)?

At first was very happy and made a donation, but then ran into this, tried to replace httpss with https and it could not find any of the issues....when there were lots. What to do??

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

Hi there, I'm having issues making MassReplaceIt work for Word docs in a folder. I"m looking to do a mass replace of dates for a whole bunch of documents without needing to go into 15 different docs to do it. any help much appreciated!

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.

It looks like there is no way to just perform a search. I find that shocking

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!

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.

Worthless to me. Asked it to remove the extension .ts from the end of a folder full of .ts files. It couldn't. Asked it to remove "p.0" from the middle of the same files and replace it with "p." It couldn't. I'm glad so many others are having such roaring success though. I'll look elsewhere. OSX3.9

Well, slap me sideways and call me Mary Poppins, if this isn't the best thing since.. really good things started.. being. Does what you want, no fuss, lots of features. Download this puppy before she scampers away and leaves you standing there with a lead in your hand. Discipline, thats the key. Harsh but fair. You know what I'm saying?

Great. Works fast and accurately with plenty of options. Very tidy and great freeware.

It's very nice, but I wish it had a recursive option (continuous searching through directories). Thank you very much for releasing this for free.

Nice start and nearly very useful, but the content feature has glitches. Try replacing 'Pop' in '"Pop?"' or even 'Pop.' with another word and it gets into trouble with the punctuation.

Developer: You are my hero. Why Apple never included this in the system I have no idea. Thank you! : )
