Not exactly what you want but a Plan C if A or B fails! I created this
stub code to search/replace text in a file for me across several web
folders so I didn't have to manually adjust all instances.
* pick the folder to search...you could modify to recurse
*CD C:\dev\webteam\
CD C:\dev\webteam\lib
*CD C:\dev\webteam\special-offers
liNumFiles = ADIR(laFiles,"*.CFM")
lcExpr = "/libs/s_code"
lcRepl = "/lib/s_code"
FOR liLoop = 1 TO liNumFiles
lcFile = FILETOSTR(laFiles(liLoop,1))
IF lcExpr $ lcFile THEN
lcFile = STRTRAN(lcFile,lcExpr,lcRepl)
COPY FILE (laFiles(liLoop,1)) TO (laFiles(liLoop,1)+".old")
STRTOFILE(lcFile,laFiles(liLoop,1))
? "Fixed " + laFiles(liLoop,1)
ENDIF
