_FileCharacterReplace -> FileConversion.au3

[tannerli]

I had to do this at my workplace, if someone can use it... feel free to use it, but please do share any improvements and give me some feedback.

Performance:

I tested the function on a quit actual workstation (HP dc5700).

I used a txt-file with about 1.3million characters and I had to make 291'000 replacements.

The conversion took about 26seconds

Greetings tannerli

UPDATE:

I had to to even more statistics and reporting so I needed more functions to edit list and logfiles and I created these functions:

_FileLineAdd() ; Add a character or string to each line of a file

_FileLineSub() ; Cut a number of characters from all lines in a file

_FileCharacterReplace() ; Replace a certain character in a file

_FileDeleteLine() ; Delete all lines containing a certain substring in a file

_FileExtractLine() ; Extract all lines containing a certain substring in a file

FileCharacterReplace.au3

FileConversion.au3

Please report any experiences and bugs to me

Looks Nice!!!

Maybe, For smaller files...

MsgBox(0x0,"",_FileCharacterReplace("C:\test.txt", ".", "[dot]"))

Func _FileCharacterReplace($file, $search, $replace)
    Return FileWrite($file & ".txt", StringReplace(FileRead($file), $search, $replace))
EndFunc

30downloads and only 1 comment.... however...

Thx to Valuater for his comment, and maybe just as a Tipp:

Check the size of the file before you start a conversion, if its too big then it may take quite long

I hope someone can use the new functions
