Seach & Replace Through .HTM Files

Oi,

I have to write an app which will search through various "HTM" files and look for certain text and then replace it accordingly.

I have been researching for some time I am unsure how to start this, I have a few "Search & Replace" programs but I need to make my own.

If anyone can shed some light on this matter or point me in the correct direction I would appreciate you help.

Thanks...

Well if you read the text into a string you can then use the string's Replace method, passing the search phrase and replacement phrase, to replace the text.

Yeah, you'd have to do it the way penagate describes. After you do a replace, you would overwrite the original file and write out the new big string all at once, flush the writerstream, and finally close it.

One word... Regex... now its a matter of finding out what types of strings you need to find...
