And, BTW, that's just a 3Liner in VFP:

FOR i = 1 TO ADIR(aFiles, "*.txt")

STRTOFILE(STRTRAN(FILETOSTR(aFiles(i,1)), "OldText", "NewText"),

aFiles(i,1))

ENDFOR

Or, maybe for easier disassembly:

FOR i = 1 TO ADIR(aFiles, "*.txt")

cFile = aFiles(i,1)

? cFile

cContent = FILETOSTR(cFile)

cContent = STRTRAN(cContent, "OldText", "NewText", <Several Options

here>)

STRTOFILE(cContent, cFile)

ENDFOR
