This comprehensive search-and-replace utility for HTML documents offers a well-needed feature for do-it-yourself coders, but novices should look elsewhere. Replace Tool's well-organized but plain interface makes searching for and replacing specific text quick and easy. The powerful search options and multiple-document-replace features make this an advanced user application. Novices may find setup difficult, but a step-by-step guide included in the otherwise bare-bones help file eases the process once you get the hang of it. Using the tree display, you browse for folders that contain HTML files. Choose a group of files to edit and save them in a project. The Worklist menu handles the search-and-replace duties. You merely fill in your search terms, mark the appropriate options, and click Start. The output and change logs are displayed in the Results section. Replace Tool also easily operates on HTML tags, parameters, and values. Despite the learning curve, this 15-day trial program works well for anyone needing fast search-and-replace functions over a multitude of HTML files.
