search and replace

[markj]

Does any one have a simple script that i can play with that will search and replace text within a file?

i.e. a gui opens up - select the file location, text to search for and text to replace with.

The best i will ever be is a beginner!!!!

you can simply write it yourself...

read sth. in the help about FileRead() and FileWrite() but if you have few time i can make you an example...

EDIT:

a little help would be this... just programm a gui for it and the needed controls:

$text = "text"
$file = FileRead("file.txt")

$string = StringInStr($file, $text)

If $string = 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, "String", "The String wasn't found")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "String", "The String was found at Position: " & $string)
EndIf

thanks for the encouragement.

Pleb is a generally english slang term denoting one who is simple

And trust me my posts will probably get more simpler with every addition!
