Recursively Replacing Text In Files And Subdirectories

Recursive Replace is a tool I once found when I was coding and wanted to rename a bunch of code.

These days many IDEs (like IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse etc) have the much safer option of using code refactoring. Just replacing text doesn't take many factors into account and you need to be careful of when changing code, but it can get you a lot of the way there.

This is also useful if you want to recursively replace text that is not code. Perhaps some data files.

This wasn't where I originally found Recursive Replace and support seems to be non-existant, but I still found it to be useful. Recursive Replace isn't the nicest program to use, but it was the best thing I found at the time.
