Aba 2.5 released

11 Dec 2022

The new features in this version include:

• Search and replace from the command line
• Skip subdirectories when searching (click the Browse button and uncheck Include subdirectories)
• Sorting the search results by path, filename, extension, modification date, or file size.
• Escape sequences and character classes inside the character lists, e.g. [\d\s] to find a digit, a space, or a newline.
• Fixed multiple bugs including encoding detection in very short files and searching for the replacement character U+FFFD (many thanks to Joe). Also fixed incorrect search in files slightly larger than 4 GB.
• Now relative paths are displayed instead of absolute ones in the search results.

The upgrade is free for the registered users. Just download the installer and run it; your settings and search history will be preserved.

Aba Search and Replace is your Swiss army knife for regular expression search, fast and safe updates across multiple files, and various conversions, with all your data staying on your computer.
