Regex According to Jeff

The right tool for the right job

Looking for a regex replace tool for multiple files? Found it.

I mentioned in my last blog post that Visual Studio .NET search and replace using regular expressions weren’t all that great for me, I’ve hosed studio a number of times and we tend to use regex replaces quite often in the IDE, especially when coding up an NUnitASP TextFixture, but we’ll save that for another day.

So I went searching for a tool and found one, PowerGREP.  Damn is it fast.  It found and replaced 586 matches in 54 files in microseconds.  This tool is amazing and uses Perl compatible regular expressions instead of whatever oddball implementation the VS.NET 2003 team decided to use.

Eye candy to follow as always.  It’s $99 to buy but it’s worth every cent.
