I'm pleased to announce that TextCrawler 2.0 is now available for download. It's still freeware!

TextCrawler 2.0 Search and Replace Tool:

It's currently packaged with an installer, but I plan to make a portable .zip version available soon, along with a new website which makes available more TC stuff.

Congrats!

I tried the csv batch replace for .html-files:
1415 files searched, 621 occurrences changed in 116 files.

All in all it took about three hours, I think

. Maybe there's a faster algorithm you could use? Or are all the lightning-fast methods proprietary, closed source?

Thanks again for all your work.

The Encoding detection scanning has a speed impact. I think things could be sped up if this was turned off via an option - eg Autodetect / Assume ANSI / Assume UTF8, etc

The release version of TC and last beta aren't work with UTF-8 without BOM files correct.

It should detect UTF with or without BOM (and list in the Encoding column). What's the exact problem?

I can't use national symbols in a search phrase. If I use Cyrillic (for example) symbols that are surely presents in file, TC doesn't find any match.

To test TC behavior, I've write Latin word and then Cyrillic ones. I've tried to find Latin word. TC has found it successfully. But near the Latin word in results I saw hieroglyphs instead on my Cyrillic word.

In first beta near each filename with matches were its encoding. It was something like ANSI/UTF. I don't remember exactly. But now it's just ANSI.

Thank you.

You can find any text in any language which contains not just Latin symbols (I've used Russian). It's very easy to do with a Google search engine for example. It contains a language filter.

Here is the easiest way to check this issue
1. Find any text in the Internet.
2. Copy/paste this text to UTF8 without BOM file. Save the file.
3. Copy any word from this file to clipboard
4. Paste to TC as a search phrase. Click search.

I've just tried pasting Cyrillic into three encodings, UTF8, UTF8(no bom) and ANSI.
TextCrawler correctly identifies all three (Of course the cyrillic is lost in the ANSI file). Are you sure your text editor isn't saving the file as ANSI and losing the encoding?

If you like you could send me a file to test (software AT digitalvolcano.co.uk)

I've sent a mail to you with a subject "File with wrong encoding"
