Find&Replace help

[rgriffin9219]

Does anyone know of an app that is capable of searching files in a folder for a particular string then replacing them with a replacement string.

I have folder with approximately 1500 ini files in it. In each file there are approximately 1 to2000+ "..\DATA\" entries which I want to be replaced with "\". I'd take me forever to open each ini file in notepad to do a find/replace on that string.

Does anyone have a clue where I can look?

get a self respecting operating system where tools to do stuff like that come standard.

otherwise, you could try loading a shitload of them into notepad++ at a time, then do find and replace across all the loaded files.

Or install cygwin and and write a shell script to do it.
