Find & Replace

Post by thomas62j5 » Thu May 25, 2006 11:17 am

We use vault as sort of a front-end to our website for our developers, where they check Perl CGI, .NET, and regular HTML pages in to vault, and they are shadowed to our live web server.

Periodically we need to make sweeping changes to files. What we need is a good find/replace utility built into vault that lets us specify filetypes (extensions), directories to search, etc. and a string to find and one to replace across all matching files. It should support regular expression matching and capturing for replaces.

The only thing we can do now is check everything out, do a local find and replace, and then do a mass check-in. It would be great if this was built into the client. Thanks for listening!
