WildGem is a small and fast tool to help find and replace text. Its powerful syntax combines most of the flexibility of regular expressions (regex), but with the simplicity of the typical find/replace function.
It features a dual split display that updates or highlights matches as you type in real-time. A unique color-coded syntax lets you easily find/replace text without worrying about having to escape special symbols.
WildGem also lets you convert its search/replace expressions into the equivalent regex syntax so that you can use them anywhere where regex is supported.

I've been using this program for years it is an amazing way to do tricky RegEx on text or figure out RegEx for other programs/software. I use it the most for striping junk out of large website copy/past operations, but it has also been a life savor in game dev, web dev, and just an overall amazing tool to have on my computer an know existed. |

WildReplace is a search tool that lets you search for files on your disks and presents the results in a folder tree. You can search for files with special attributes (Read-Only, System, Archive etc.), or files that contain a matching phrase (works with both Text and Binary files). WildReplace can also replace text within files, create backups of modified files, and delete files that match your search criteria. It will also move all matching files to a new location while preserving the same folder structure.
Supports Regular Expressions for advanced search (and replace) functionality.

Didn't make changes. Looked like ran but didn't. I know permissions weren't the issue so not sure why nothing happened. LAME

Using Windows 7, the program performed as described. I find the interface usable. I was able to change a bunch of "blank.gif", "dot_clea.gif" all to "spacer.gif" to eliminate redundant files with ease. Use no file content search, just match by filename and it is easy to delete those files in a bunch of locations. |
Textreme is a tool for "text remodelling", allowing you to change text and modify its appearance by delete blanks or moving/insert words. Great for updating text files with lots of minor changes that would be manually tedious, the program offers a variety of string-based functions (deleting sections, inserting into a specific place, switching bits around, etc.) for text files.
There are currently nine different actions that can be performed in various ways, and actions can be cascaded in so that many changes can be made in a single pass.
Tip: Use "TextEditor="dummy\..\..\PathToYourEditor.exe" to specify an editor with relative path in Textreme.ini.

TypingAid is a fast and simple auto-completion utility that suggests words and phrases in any window. The program supports European languages with accents, suggestion tooltips, and the ability to add words and phrases to word list with shortcut key.
The program can help with writing in a language different than the available keyboard, with highly technical or medical terminology, or to help cut down on typing for touch or disabled typists.
The program was compiled using an AutoHotkey script and the .AHK source included.

Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch TypingAid.exe. Optionally, you can prepare a list of words, saved as "wordlist.txt" under the same folder as the program file. The zip contains one for general purposes (and the program learns as it goes), but others are available from the homepage. |

Found a bug when generating new Preferences.ini files. If you've started anew with TypingAid since v2.19.7, it's probably best to delete your preferences.ini, but it will fix the TerminatingCharacters entry IF you have not modified that entry since the Preferences.ini was created.

SCR is a simple tool to search and replace text (without formatting) in a directory of documents. The program supports previewing, case-sensitivity and various search options. The program also supports changing text within file names. Tested successfully with Word 2003 DOC files.
Select "Don't make any changes" to preview changes.
Warning: the program creates "Replace with SCR" option every time you right-click on an item in Explorer and may not be considered portable.

In case you have not seen this already |
V-Grep (Visual Grep) is designed to perform global search-and-replace operations on multiple text files with great speed. The search pattern can be either a plain text string or a regular expression, so very complex patterns can be specified. V-Grep supports all regular expressions operators in the PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) standard.

Tried it, but I'll stick with Yo-Grep - this program can't even get the line numbers right (it calls the first line of a file, line 0) |
