AsoSearch example
Search and replace utility for filenames.
A while back the standard windows-search did not work on my pc, so I decided to write my own. Appart from just searching it can also do a search & replace on filenames. This has proven to be very usefull when renaming a list of files (for example convert upper caps to lower caps).
Type your search string in the Search for: field. In the Replace with: field you can specify with which string the search string should be replaced. Press enter and your files will be renamed.
If you want to change the search directory, just type it in the 'Look in' field. In this field you can use auto completion by pressing your 'Esc' button on your keyboard (The Browse button is not yet implemented, and probably never will be).
Feel free to use AsoSearch in any way you like.
