Auto Text Replacer Download

Posted by Jason

This small program lets you replace multiple different strings or characters in a text file with other strings or characters in just a second.

I. Zip file contents: Download AutoTextReplacer v.1.0

  • ATR.exe – the program file
  • ATRconfig.ini – the configuration file
  • ReadMe.txt – instructions

II. How to configure the AutoTextReplacer:

You can use your favorite text editor, like notepad, to open the configuration file (ATRconfig.ini) and set the required replacements. Each line of this file can contain a single replacement command. This command consists of 3 elements:

current_string–>new_string

  1. current_string – the string or character you need to be replaced
  2. –> – the separator between the two strings
  3. new_string – the new string or character you want to be inserted in the place of the current one

You can put a maximum of 100 replacement commands in the configuration file. You can comment a replacement command in the configuration file by putting…

; (semicolum)

…at the beginning of the row. Or in other words – all lines starting with…

; (semicolum)

…are considered comments.

Here are Some Examples:

If your configuration file contains this line…

1–>2

…then 1 will be replaced by 2 everywhere in the file you feed to the program.

EXAMPLES
NOTE: The square brackets [ ] are here just for demonstration purposes.

COMMAND: ["-->']
INPUT: [What"s the matter?]
OUTPUT: [What's the matter?]

COMMAND: [Do-->Don't]
INPUT: [Do you know what I should do?]
OUTPUT: [Don't you know what I should do?]

IMPORTANT NOTE: The replacement is CaSe SenSITivE and will replace matches within words like…

COMMAND: [do-->DON'T]
INPUT: [This is the doctor.]
OUTPUT: [This is the DON'Tctor.]

You can also do multiple commands at one…

COMMAND1: [1-->one]
COMMAND2: [2-->two]
INPUT: [1,2,three,four...]
OUTPUT: [one,two,three,four...]

COMMAND1: [A-->_A_]
COMMAND2: [_-->XXX]
INPUT: [A,B,C,D...]
OUTPUT: [XXXAXXX,B,C,D...]

III. How the program works:

The program works very simple. Once you have set all the rules you need in the configuration file, just Drag&Drop a text file (or a bunch of files) over the program and it will create a new file (or bunch of files) with the same name like the original(s) but preceded with the string “New_”.

So if you drag and drop a filed called “Test.txt” the result file will be “New_Test.txt” and it will be created in the same folder where the original file was.

TIP: You can create a shortcut to the program on your Desktop and Drag&Drop the files over it.
