Find/replace in multiple files
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:44 pm
Hi all -
I have selected a directory which I want to search. It contains file-types which are included in the mask. I have supplied a search word using the prefixing "+". I have suppled a replace term. (I have also tried this with all combinations of using the "+" / not using the "+").
I have checked the box for 'Search in Subfolders' (there are many folders in the chosen directory, and many files which I know contain the search string). I am using v2.3 of "Advanced Find & Replace", in Windows 2000.
When I click "Execute", I receive only the message: 'Found 0 files of 2'.
What am I missing/doing wrong?
Thanks very much,
bb
