Search & Replace Pro for Windows – High-performance bulk text search and replace across large files

Summary: Search & Replace Pro for Windows enables fast, memory-efficient search and replace operations across thousands of files and massive file sizes without crashing. It supports numerous file formats and offers features that address limitations found in common editors like Notepad++.

What it does

The tool performs search and replace on multiple files simultaneously by streaming data instead of loading entire files into memory, allowing it to handle files up to 10GB. It operates entirely in the background for faster processing and supports complex, unlimited-length regex patterns with a built-in safe mode that backs up files before changes.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers, IT administrators, and users needing reliable bulk text editing on large or numerous files, including Salesforce metadata and codebases.

Why it matters

It solves performance, stability, and safety issues common in other editors by preventing crashes, eliminating interface lag, enabling undo via backups, and providing a portable, no-install executable.
