What is FAR - Find And Replace?

FAR is a comprehensive tool that enables seamless search and replace operations across multiple files. It offers two distinct modes of functionality - standard "word by word" replacement as well as the flexibility to leverage fully featured regular expressions. A key advantage of FAR is its ability to automatically create backups of the original files, ensuring data integrity during the replacement process. The tool is designed with user convenience in mind, allowing users to define search strings that span multiple lines with a simple, intuitive interface - eliminating the need for complex syntax. While many text editors provide basic find and replace capabilities, including support for regular expressions, FAR stands out by providing a cohesive set of advanced features to streamline these critical file management tasks
