Automatically search for and replace text in an entire directory of HTML pages. Use different file patterns to search for or exclude file types. You may search case sensitive or 'match whole words only' to narrow your search. Search for bytes or special characters like tabs and line breaks to convert UNIX text to Windows text. Or trim the spaces from a database dump, for example, so that they don't interfere with HTML formatting. Replace a string with the contents of a whole file. Server-side includes are easy to use, but once the site is complete, the unnecessary server overhead of parsing include files on every page request can be eliminated by replacing the one <#include....> line with the contents of the file itself. With the include file replacement of 12Replace, and because 12Replace works on the contents of directories and not just individual files themselves, a site based on includes can be rendered static in minutes. No Windows based editor flies like 12-Replace. Updating links sitewide is now a breeze with 12Ghosts Replace!
