It prompts the user also for the folder path if not defined at top. This function reads the list of find and replace strings from CSV file. full path for an automatic save and close. Specify here a valid log file name with valid Define fixed strings used only in main code. Var g_sFolderReplace = "" // Path to folder with files to modify. an empty string to avoid the prompt for the base folder path. Assign g_sFolderDefault or a different folder path instead of Var g_sFolderDefault = "D:\\Base\\Folder\\" Var g_sListFile = "D:\\redaction\\redactionlist.csv" Var g_asFindReplaceList // Array of find and replace strings. As a bonus if it could also create a log of files scanned and ideally a count of replacements in each file that would be great for an audit trailĬode: Select all // Define fixed strings used globally.within all sub-folders (regardless if they're hidden or not), happy to edit the script each time as the top level folder name will change but a prompt for this location would also work well Would also want to point it at a folder and have it 'replace in files' anything within that folder inc. ![]() Should be case-insensitive for the search string matching, replacement string I guess would preserve the case as per csv file.Tab as the separator & no need to handle tab as a search/replace string.CSV name can be whatever really (probably something like D:\redaction\redactionlist.csv) but would be static so preferable if it's hardcoded rather than prompted for.Many thanks for the reply and the examples look pretty clear and I might be able to figure it out myself, that said if you did have the time to create a custom script that would be greatly appreciated. But I would need more information like the full qualified file name of the CSV file, the full qualified file name of log file to modify, which character is used as separator in the CSV file, is it necessary to handle also find/replace strings containing the separator, run the replaces case-sensitive or case-insensitive. That would be no problem for me and according to what you posted already, it could write the script quite quickly. Please let me know if one of the existing script or macro solutions can be used by you for your task with small modifications by yourself or if I should write a new script for you. One of the older macro solutions is posted at How to Perform a Find & Replace via Macro using a source file. Multiple Replace in Files from list containing also replace properties information.Look for example on the scripts posted at: I wrote already several macros (many years ago) and scripts (in the last years) for that task which can be found in macros and scripts forums. It is also possible that a macro works with find/replace strings in a text file, but UltraEdit macros do not support variables which makes the process less efficient on execution in comparison to an UltraEdit script which can load all finds/replaces into memory at once and then run in a loop the replaces on the file. ![]() It is easier to edit a CSV file with find/replace strings than a macro in macro editor. I would suggest nowadays an UltraEdit script for such a task instead of an UltraEdit macro if the find/replace strings need to be changed or extended or removed from time to time. In general it is most efficient that the file to modify with a series of finds and replaces is not opened at all in UltraEdit, but command Replace in Files is used to modify this single file as in this case no undo steps are recorded, no line change indications, etc. A macro could be created by simply recording the replaces done once manually. An UltraEdit macro or UltraEdit script is used for such a task in general. ![]()
