SysMate Replaces System Files Without Permission Errors

SysMate Replaces System Files Without Permission Errors

Windows: In most cases, you shouldn't fiddle with system files on your OS. However, sometimes you don't have a choice, and in those instances, SysMate can help make the process easier.

The app is impossibly simple to use. You point the first box to the file you want to replace and the second box to the new version. No mucking about with command lines or Emergency Repair Disks. It even makes a backup of the original so you can revert the changes if necessary. Again, this isn't something you should need to do very often, but when you do, this is a handy piece of software to have in your tool belt.

Find and Replace Searches For, Replaces Text in Multiple Files at Once

Find and Replace Searches For, Replaces Text in Multiple Files at Once

Windows: Find and Replace searches multiple files on your system for a string of text and replaces it with whatever you choose. Think of it like the Find/Replace tool in your favorite text editor on steroids. The app is portable, supports regular expressions, case sensitive searching, and it's free.

If you're not interested in replacing text, you can just use "Find" to do a whole-system search for a string of text. For example, if you know you wrote a document about eucalyptus at some point but you have no idea where on your system it is or how deeply buried in the document your comments were, Find and Replace can find it—whether you're on your computer or a work machine where you may not be able to install something like a desktop search tool.

The app is also capable of finding and replacing multi-line text, recursing directories, and even sports command line options so you can include it in batch files or just run it from the command line. Hit the link below to download it, check out the source code, or see all of its features in action.
