Replix - Advanced Search and Replace (https://hedows.com/portfolio/replix/)
Replix is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for finding and replacing text across files, folders, or entire projects. Whether you’re a developer, writer, or data wrangler, Replix makes bulk text replacements fast, accurate, and stress-free.</br></br>
Features at a glance
| Option | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
| Case Sensitive | Distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase letters. | |
| Search Content | Searches inside file contents vs. only file/folder names. | |
| Occurrences | Shows exactly how many matches were found and replaced. | </br></br> |
Case Sensitive </br>
Controls whether letter casing matters during search.
| Setting | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Checked | Exact match required. Searching "Cat" will not find "cat" or "CAT". |
| Unchecked | Ignores case. "Cat", "cat", "CAT" are all treated the same. |
When to use: Programming (variable names like
countvsCount), password‑like searches, or any case‑sensitive data.</br>
Search Content
Decides if Replix should look inside files or only scan names.
| Setting | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Checked | Scans and replaces text inside files (code, logs, documents). |
| Unchecked | Only matches file names and folder names — useful for batch renaming. |
When to use: Refactoring code across a project (checked) vs renaming 100 photos (unchecked).</br>
Occurrences
After each operation, Replix displays a clear summary:
“12 matches found and replaced”
This tells you exactly how many times your search term appeared and was changed. Perfect for auditing large updates.</br></br>
Quick example
Before:
File notes.txt contains:
“I love cats. Cats are great.”
Search: "cats" → Replace: "dogs"
Case Sensitive: Unchecked
After:
“I love dogs. Dogs are great.”
Occurrences reported: 2 matches replaced</br></br>
