I need to use a powerfull Find and Replace tool for text files. Something more powerfull than what we have in TextEdit, and lets you find generic words, and other options.



Any suggestion ?

    TextWrangler is a really powerful freeware solution, with full grep pattern searching.



    It may take a while to pick up the basics of using grep, but it IS powerful, and once you create a rule, you can save it and easily use it the next time you need it.



    Of course it's good. It's made by Bare Bones Software.

    Thanks,



    I'll try it. Pretty large though.



    Other suggestions ?

    Nisus Writer Pro has extended Find and Replace capabilities, as well as being a great word processor.

    Yes, I was using an old version of Nisus (in Classic mode !) for its Search&Replace capabilities. I was wondering if there was something similar in OS X (not counting NW Pro)

    Use 'sed' in the Terminal?
