Around the net (e.g., Oak Software Repository, Download.Com. etc) there are several nice search-and-replace utilities for text files.

The dialogue box for Search/Replace in VFP, when using the form or class designer, lets you search/replace, at one time, all method and event snippets for the form/class.

Does anybody know if there is a search/replace utility that will process *all* source code in a directory and/or project, regardless of whether it is in PRG files, menu designer files, SCX's, VCX's, etc, so that one can do a global search and replace in one step?

>Is there a way to conduct a search of all prgs in a project for a certain string? I have a procedure that locks a users record when users log in, and the lock was being removed by a program that I have that did an unlock all. I knew what was happening, but wasn't sure which program had this line, so I had to open up all suspect programs one at a time and do an edit find for "unlock". This search would have been quicker had I been able to search all prgs at the same time for this string and identified the program that I needed to modify. Also, can a search be done on forms this way as well.
