Hello, @markus-kemp109, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn and All,
Additional points regarding the Filters entry box, of the Replace in Files dialog :
If the Filters box is empty , it means *.* ( Trivial ! )
The inclusive mask does not need to be the first item. For instance, !*.exe !*.log *.* would scan all files of the given directory ( and, possibly, its sub-dirs ), except for those with extension = exe and log
The excluding symbol ! is not a problem if, exceptionally, a filename begins with the ! character. For instance, if the scanned directory contains a file !Test_3.xml the mask !!Test*.* *.xml would scan all xml files whose name do not begin with !Test
Note that you cannot just write an exclusive mask, alone ! For instance, the !*.log filter does not scan any file :-(( Personally, I think that !*.log should, implicitly, mean !*.log *.* i. e. it would have scanned all files, except for those with extension = log
Best Regards,
