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.

Replacing text in several files used to be a tedious and error-prone task. Aba Search and Replace solves the problem, allowing you to correct errors on your web pages, replace banners and copyright notices, change method names, and perform other text-processing tasks.
