Find / Replace

Basic Find / Replace operations:

This allows you to search for text inside a filename and replace it with something else.

Example:

filename.txt

Find: name
Replace: _fun

Would result in filename.txt turning into file_fun.txt

You can also use this to replace text with nothing,

filename.txt

Find: name
Replace: <leave this field blank>

Would result in a filename.txt turning into file.txt

Number of Occurrences:

Number of Occurrences allows you to specify how many times the searched for item will be replaced if found in a file.

Options:

Find using Regular Expressions: The full explanation of Regular Expressions goes beyond the scope of this manual. We use the Microsoft Regular Expression engine. Here is a link to Wikipedia that goes over some more details of Regular Expressions:

Case Sensitive Search: If this option is checked, your search against the filename will be case sensitive. That means that if your filename is Test_file.pdf, and you search for test, nothing will be found since the lower case test doesn't match the first letting being capitalized in Test_file.pdf

The radio buttons

This allows you to specify how you will search in the file, by default, Search full filename is selected, this means that when you do a search, it will search the entire filename including the extension. The other choices allow you to choose to only search the base filename (without extension), or the extension by itself.
