When you have successfully selected files to search and have specified strings to replace, you can launch a replacements operation. This can be done by selecting the Commands | Go! menu item, pressing the F5 shortcut, or choosing the green Go! button in the upper-left corner of XReplace-32.
XReplace-32 will smoothly run through your files and perform the operations requested. Modified files will be marked with a different icon. Statistics and logs will be made available if the appropriate options are selected. Please refer to the Statistics and Log Options sections for more information.
When a file is modified by a search-and-replace operation, XReplace-32 will by default create a backup file with the .xrp extension at the same location as the original. To change the various backup options, including the ability to specify an alternative backup location for all replacements, please refer to the Backup Options section.
