Mass Search and Replace?

[Baker]

I'm restructuring the global variables.

Any decent text editors that you can setup a table with 2 columns to do a batch search and replace?

Manual search and replaces are subject to human error and I have about 70 to do.

That tool is actually rather sophisticated. It's not bad. I'd still prefer a built-in plug-in for a well-known text editor, but it is getting the job done.

You could write a macro for JEdit.

This thing is doing the job "ok". And I don't have to write macros. I just export 2 column Excel worksheet as .csv and import it. And then correct small issues as the Quake engine occasionally has local and global variables with the same name.

(Aside, some of the console and screen drawing variables have the absolutely worst names ... telling you really nothing about what they do. On the plus side: 30 minutes later trying to sort them out and the console code is easy to understand now for me. A lot of redundancy, but I'm getting a large chunk of my code under control finally. It'd take a week to manually do what I'm trying to do here, and I'd make typos occasionally or get bored to death.)

This might be a bit late for Baker, but may be of use in the future.

Until 12 midnight you can get a free copy of AKS Text Replacer at

I think this might have been what Baker was looking for?

Anyways, thought I'd share. If you're wanting more info on the program here is the
