What are the best Windows tools for multi-line find and replace in all files within a folder?

Asked By CuriousCoder42 On

I'm working on updates for an old website and need to remove a multi-line JavaScript function that appears across numerous pages. Additionally, I have to declare a doctype before the HTML tag and make some other minor adjustments across about 150 pages. While I have Windows grep, it's limited as it only handles single lines. I prefer an easy-to-use tool where I can paste text into an interface for find and replace without tackling regex. Any suggestions?

Just open your folder in VS Code and use the built-in find-and-replace feature. It should handle what you need!

You can easily do multi-line find and replace using VS Code or other text editors. It's super user-friendly!

I will take a look at VS Code. "Any other text editor" isn't super accurate. Vim will do it... if I dig into regex.
