Advanced Find and Replace

Hi

We all know how find and replace works in Dreamweaver. You enter let's say X into find and Y into replace, then you select where to do the operation, for example certaing folder, then you click replace all.

What I have to do is to do that same operation for over 200 entries. I have a list and now I would need dreamweaver or any other program to go over that list and find string from the first column and replace it with string from the second column. Do you maybe know of any program that can do that?

Thanks alot!

 

Thank you for your reply.

I have a bunch of .php files while list is in xlsx and can be converted. Any other programs maybe?

 

I couldnt get your explanation properly... (maybe an example would help)
But you can surely use "Notepad++" to perform such operations!
But you might need to spend sometime on learning how to find and replace entries using wildcards and regular expressions.

Another alternative may be, using php
Storing the data in a text file
using preg_match_all to find all match entries and then replace them according to your conditions.

I would go with the first.

 

Thank you both. I hired someone to do it manually as I needed it done fast.
