Replacing multiple lines of text


Replacing banner code using regular expression

Searching in Unicode files


A sample search for international characters

You can replace several lines without any special treatment for line separators. This feature is useful for replacing banner code and other repeating elements. Note that regular expressions can span multiple lines, too. Windows (CR+LF) and Unix-style (LF) line terminators are supported.

UTF-8 and UTF-16 LE files are supported; the file encoding is recognized automatically. In a regular expression, you can use Unicode-enabled character classes. For example, \w matches not only English letters, but also German umlauts and French letters with diacritics.

You can insert some lines, e.g. C++ #include directive or <!DOCTYPE> tag, at the beginning of your files. Note that the program shows you the files that will be modified and the replacements in context.
