[RapidPHP] Search / Replace In Files Details Not Displaying

[DevlshOne]

When using the search / replace in files function, although "display detailed results" is checked, the detailed results do not show up after execution.

RapidPHP 11.01 (11.0.1.127)

Thanks

Hi,

Can confirm the same.

Just did a test (never used replace in files before), get the message 98 replacements were made. but no details.
And even worse, no replacements were actually made, all the files are as they were before, even the date & time on them are unchanged.

Can then confirm no changes are made by doing a find in files for the original term on the same folder, do get detail results now with 46 files searched, 98 matches found in 5 files!

Hi,

There are no detailed results displayed when "Replace All" is done. This is by design, we have received some remarks about this, but currently we have not intended to change this functionality.
If you want to see detailed results, then you need to use "Replace" and then click inside the results to be prompted for a replace on each found instance.

I could not reproduce the problem of no replace being done. Please give a list of steps, so we can repeat the problem, if it really exists.

Kind regards,

If you want to see detailed results, then you need to use "Replace" and then click inside the results to be prompted for a replace on each found instance.

How exactly would you go about this on the "Replace In Files" action? Load each file individually and use "Replace" on each one? That defeats the purpose, don't you think?

Unlike Mike, I can confirm that the action does, indeed, make the changes to the file. Mike, you may want to check your file permissions for that folder if you are not doing it locally.

Thanks

Something odd going on for me then, testing on my local drive not a network drive, and my account has local administrator privileges on Windows XP, so full permissions.

Just as a test, searching all files in an asp.net project, replacing asp with xxx

One of the files before doing the replace:


Search -> Find in files:


Result of doing Replace All:


Re-open the file above, can still see asp throughout, none changed to xxx:


In fact if I do another replace all without even closing the Replace in Files dialog then it will again say 233 replacements.
