I tried this app to convert text within a bunch of a few thousand xml files but not a single one can be converted with this tool. A message keeps telling me that all files were ignored despite the search expression was correctly found in all applicable files. The app keeps also telling me, that all files are binary. Is this the reason why it refuses to convert them? They are not binary files, but UTF-8 encoded, like every xml file is, or should be... So, useless for me, as I need a find and replace tool basically for xml files only. However, I found a tool similarly called "Find And Replace (FNR)". Much smaller exe file, no Java required, and worked instantly for me...

Once you figure out that you need to execute the FAR.bat file and not the FAR.exe file, it works absolutely great. (If you try to execute the exe file, it will promptly inform you that you that the Java runtime environment is missing. The bat file executes the FAR exe with the appropriate Java commands). Anyway, Find And Replace does a wonderful job at performing just about any find and replace function you can think of. And I can think of a lot. I would have given this 5 stars if it had been more obvious that you needed to execute the FAR.bat file to get it to work, thus I gave it one less star.

I used FAR while porting MSVC code to GCC. Nice tool for large nested folders and files.

It Works! Something KFileReplace has not done. Very simple to use. Self-Explanatory. launch from either command line or create a KDE launcher. easy. and did i mention, it Works! Thanks, Landis.

This can give you a dangerous feeling that you have looked for a string in and not found it when in fact the string really exists. In other words it has a few false negatives!
