Search and replace in multiple files

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

Search and replace in multiple files

Post by RobertSF »

The PureBasic IDE lets you search and replace through a selection or an entire file. It would be wonderful if it let you search and replace through multiple files, that is, through all open files, and all files in a project.

I can do this now by alt-tabbing to Notepad++ (and I'm sure Linux and OSX folks can do something similar), but I like the PureBasic IDE. :D This change seems relatively easy to implement and would require no changes to the language.

It already exists "Search in Files" dialog but without replace function.

Today I had to download a S & R tool because this important feature is still missing from PB. Hard to find any IDE that doesn't have it!
