Replix - Advanced Search and Replace (https://hedows.com/portfolio/replix/)

Replix is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for finding and replacing text across files, folders, or entire projects. Whether you're a developer, writer, or data wrangler, Replix makes bulk text replacements fast, accurate, and stress-free.

Features at a glance

Option	What it does
Case Sensitive	Distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase letters.
Search Content	Searches inside file contents vs. only file/folder names.
Occurrences	Shows exactly how many matches were found and replaced.

Case Sensitive

Controls whether letter casing matters during search.

Setting	Behavior
Checked	Exact match required. Searching "Cat" will not find "cat" or "CAT".
Unchecked	Ignores case. "Cat", "cat", "CAT" are all treated the same.

When to use: Programming (variable names like count vs Count), password‑like searches, or any case‑sensitive data.

Search Content

Decides if Replix should look inside files or only scan names.

Setting	Behavior
Checked	Scans and replaces text inside files (code, logs, documents).
Unchecked	Only matches file names and folder names — useful for batch renaming.

When to use: Refactoring code across a project (checked) vs renaming 100 photos (unchecked).

Occurrences

After each operation, Replix displays a clear summary:

“12 matches found and replaced”

This tells you exactly how many times your search term appeared and was changed. Perfect for auditing large updates.

Quick example

Before:
File notes.txt contains:

“I love cats. Cats are great.”

Search: "cats" → Replace: "dogs"
Case Sensitive: Unchecked

After:

“I love dogs. Dogs are great.”

Occurrences reported: 2 matches replaced
