BrettF Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 You could also use AutoIt to perform the find replace, but either opening the file in AutoIt, or getting the text from the notepad window, performing a StringReplace/StringRegExpReplace, and then clearing notepad and adding the modified text.
