"Seems good, but no wildcard searchs on text."
Version: Replace Text in Many Files 1.1.2.0
Pros
It's exactly what I was looking for EXCEPT for one major gotcha.
Cons
No wildcard searches on the text. Therefore it's useless.
Summary
Quite a few of these search and replace utilities have this fundamental flaw, let me give you an example. Let's say you have a giant .html file full of tables that look something like this:
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>smith</td>
I want to insert a row here in mass on many files.
<td>Hackinsack NJM</td>
This is impossible with this program and many others like it that don't have wildcards. The only way this would work is if you could do a search and replace on this:
<tr>
<td>*</td>
<td>*</td>
Alas.
