    Hello,

    I have got a very large database. I replace some words. I use notepad. it works ok. but if the word i want to replace is too many, notepad freezes and does not work.

    is there any other program that i can use?

    thanks

    UltraEdit is very good (shareware with trail period).
    Also try Wordpad.

    textpad is great for that, just press F5 and replace all words ;)

    Easiest (free) solution, use phpmyadmin to run replacement queries like
    UPDATE table_name SET `field_name`=replace(`field_name`,"original_text",'replacement_text');
    Code (markup):

    Ok. I managed. I used Notepad++
