Search and Replace Utility

FFSR [-option ...] "searchstring" "replacestring" textfile [textfile...]


The FFSR program is a simple search and replace utility which may be helpful to make changes in for example a number of infobox files in a single operation.

The option parameters may be one of the following:

-cuse a case-blind comparison of the search string
-bwrite a backup of each changed file (with file extension .~ext)
-rrecurse through subfolders
-nmake no changes (implies -v)
-vwrite a verbose report of changes to the console

The textfile parameters may include standard wildcards in all path elements except a sharename or drive.  To search for or replace a string containing double-quote characters, place two double-quote characters in the double-quoted string.
