| eeFindReplaceCase | Matches cases. |
| eeFindReplaceEscSeq | Uses escape sequences. Cannot combine with eeFindReplaceRegExp. |
| eeFindReplaceIgnoreFiles | Ignores the files or folders specified by strFilesToIgnore. |

| eeReplaceKeepOpen | Keeps the modified files open. Cannot combine with eeReplaceBackup. |
nEncoding
Selects from the Encoding Constants, or specify any code page used in the Windows Operating System.
strFilesToIgnore
If nFlags includes eeFindReplaceIgnoreFiles, specifies the file or folder names to ignore. It can include wild cards such as * and ?. To specify multiple files, use semicolons (;) to separate them.
strBackupPath
Specifies the backup folder if nFlags specifies eeReplaceBackup.
This action cannot be undone unless nFlags specifies eeReplaceKeepOpen. It is recommended to specify eeReplaceBackup as nFlags and saves backups. If the same file name exists in the backup folder, the new backup will overwrite the old file.
