The function is in edit menu ( http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit )Search and replace in files

Basm allah alrahman alrahim

 

There are a lot of ways , My strange way is to use Command from CMD [ far a way subject from web developers ! ] , use this command to replace any text inside any file at the same folder [ be aware to make a backup copy of that folder because any mistake may appear ] , the command is

FART -i -r "C:\\Directory Name\\Files\\*.html" FOO BAR

 

and before use this command you must download FART Tool and put it at the same folder of your1000 files then from windows7 click start or hit windows key and type cmd at search box , when cmd appear right click it and run as administrator then change your directory to the folder you save the1000 files [don't forget the backup ]for example if your folder at d:\\saved , write the following , cd d:\\saved then run the command FART -i -r   "D:\\saved\\*.html"   "19-9-2015"   "19 sep2015"

 

you can observe the date format you want to replace with at the part  "19-9-2015"   "19 sep2015" [ put what inside the HTML files at the first part and the second part is what new format you want ]

 

To download FART go to sourceforge

and don't forget to put the downloaded file after uncommpressed at the same folder of the1000 BC

1. Use regular expression to search and replace in files. We can use supported editors like notepad++ 

2. Use preg_replace and write a php script to update each files.

Regular expression supported text editors are a good choice. But if all the pages include any common js files then a simple js function will also do the job. Using js would be better, i think, because u can simply edit the regex pattern and format if there are anny future changes.

if you want to change the style only you can use CSS with an external style sheet.
