Thanks . I'll try and comment. For me this is a difficult subject with problems applying and software difficult to manage. I have visited this webpage. Search and Replace Tools for Windows: grep, batch processing utilities and more and some links goes to https://play.google....=6944889935549986731 There are error in the webpage and don't go. Another strange web page is https://www.binaryma...download?ref=gallery When you try the program observe strange things. Best Regards |

If you're trying to replace content in Word documents, you need a tool designed to work with Word documents, not a tool designed for use with plain text files...

I noticed in one of the forums, in which you cross-posted, a complaint from you that macropod was interfering with your finding an answer by following you and noting the cross-post.
I can assure you he was not stalking you or trying to cause you problems. He is a regular contributor in this and the other forums. Sometimes he is brusque. However, he was trying to help you be a good forum participant and get an answer while assisting those who might be trying to help you. Please do read the link he gave you about cross-posting etiquette. It applies to you. You are asking experts to volunteer their expertise to help you. It is important that you respect and value their time. The sub-folder issue is addressed in a Stack Overflow thread. filesystemobject - Loop Through All Subfolders Using VBA - Stack Overflow |

Macropod is trying to help me. Simple remind me the rules.
I usually open a lot of posts to assure the answer, but follow all the posts and give the best regards. At the present moment the forums, at least some forums, are in difficulty because of the diversity and the distraction. That why I multipost. But when macropod remind me is not allowed I have tried to concentrate and obtain an answer. I am from Spain so you can imagine I try to obtain help there too. Macropod is like me !. It's everywhere |

You should also follow up when you find a solution and post a link to the solution in each of the other forums.
