You’ll still be able to replace or revert individual matches, if your earlier decisions didn’t turn out too well. If you save the results into a PowerGREP Results file, you can open the results days or weeks later, and still see each match highlighted.

PowerGREP gives you the opportunity to replace and revert matches in any order, whenever you want, with full editing access to the file. The typical Windows grep tool forces you to answer a Yes/No question popping up for each search match, in the order that matches are found. PowerGREP’s method of replacing and reverting individual matches is far more intuitive than the way most Windows search-and-replace tools work. Of course, you can also replace or revert all matches in a file with just one click. To replace most search matches, execute the action (which replaces all matches), and then revert those individual matches that you didn’t want to replace. To replace just a few of the search matches, preview the action and then replace individual matches. Simply click on the match, and then click the Replace or Revert button in the editor. Match highlighting persists even when you edit the file.Īfter previewing or executing a search-and-replace action, you can conveniently replace or revert individual matches.
Click the Next Match and Previous Match buttons to quickly navigate through all matches in the file. The key benefit of using PowerGREP’s built-in editor is that you can easily inspect the full context of each highlighted search match. PowerGREP’s editor has all the features you’d expect: word wrapping, line numbering, syntax highlighting, block editing, unlimited undo, etc. You can edit any text or binary file directly in PowerGREP, just like you would in a text editor or a hexadecimal editor.
