Bulk Find and Replace for Developers: Refactoring Made Easy

Every developer has been there: you need to change a variable name, update a deprecated API URL, or refresh the footer copyright year across 200 static HTML files. IDEs are great, but sometimes you need a lightweight tool that handles folder structures without setting up a project workspace.

When to use Bulk Word Replacer

While VS Code or IntelliJ have powerful refactoring tools, they often require you to open the project, wait for indexing, and configure search exclusions.

Bulk Word Replacer is perfect for:

• Legacy projects where you don't want to mess up your IDE settings.
• Static websites (HTML/CSS) that don't have a build system.
• Quick fixes on a server backup or downloaded folder.
• Updating config files (JSON, XML, YAML) in bulk.

Handling Code Files Safely

Code sensitivity is crucial. Replacing "cat" with "dog" might accidentally change "concatenation" to "condogenation".

Our tool provides key features for devs:

• Case Sensitivity: Toggle this to ensure `const User` isn't replaced when you only wanted to change `user`.
• Deep Recursive Search: We go into `src/components/ui/` and every other nested folder.
• Plain Text Focus: We treat code files as plain text, ensuring no hidden formatting bytes are inserted.

Supported Extensions

We support virtually all text-based code formats:
`.html`, `.css`, `.js`, `.jsx`, `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.json`, `.xml`, `.php`, `.py`, `.rb`, `.java`, `.c`, `.cpp`, `.h`, `.cs`, `.sql`, `.md`, `.txt`, `.svg` and more.
