Find and Replace tool for HTML

lego · 16 Oct 2014 at 14:22

Basically a friend of mine has just had an ebay store created for him. The product description has been designed to replicate his site, however it is making adding products quite a time consuming job.

To do it you need to edit the html and change things like "Product name" "model Number" and all the image files.

I have found a tool which allows me to search and replace for a single item (eg product_mg123.jpg) however is there anything which will allow me to change 4 or 5 things in one go?

Hope this makes sense?

If you're on a mac, Forklift FTP has a really nice mass renaming tool?

I tend to use Sublime Text. You highlight the selected word(s) and the press CTRL+D and for each press it highlights each one on the page, then you simply delete and replace and it does it for all of them at the same time. Or you can use most text editors and do CTRL+H for a mass find and replace.

It sounds more like the ebay template needs work. It should be pulling in name, description etc from the ebay listing.
