Find and Replace in Files

Perform find and replace operations against a folder structure of MATLAB .m files.

This app enables you to search for text in *.m files in a folder or folder structure. Then, you may apply replacements to the instances found. Regular expressions may optionally be used in the search text. Currently only *.m files are supported.

This code will modify multiple files within a specified folder structure. Although the app does back up the modified files to your TEMP directory, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND before using this that you also back up your code folder or commit your code to a version controlled repository.
