Provides Powerful Text Search and Replace Functionality Using Regular Expressions

Version
v1.1.3

Requirements
n/a

Description
This tool uses the Microsoft VB Scripting RegEx control to allow searching and optionally replacing text using regular expressions. It includes a handy syntax guide. Regular expressions allow searching for patterns instead of just specific text--allowing for much more advanced searching than most text editors allow. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expressions and http://www.regular-expressions.info for more details.
