Hello!

I found a code in lib that can convert encoding in a specified folder.
I want to run a simple task: changing “word1” to “word2” for all .txt files in folder “C:Test”.

document.selection.Replace("word1","word2",eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceEscSeq | eeReplaceAll);

What do I need to change to accomplish this?

// This macro converts the encoding of all files (of specified file extension) in the specified folder to a specified encoding.

	// Warning: this macro cannot undo the changes. Please make backup of your files before you run!

	//

	// folder to search

	// remember to escape  with another .

	sFolder = "C:Test";

	

	// file extension (must begin with a period (.) )

	sExt = ".txt";

	

	// source file encoding

	// available encodings can be found at http://www.emeditor.com/help/macro/const/const_encoding.htm

	nSrcEncoding = eeEncodingSystemDefault;

	

	// destination file encoding

	// available encodings can be found at http://www.emeditor.com/help/macro/const/const_encoding.htm

	nDestEncoding = eeEncodingUTF8;

	

	// destination file Unicode Signature (BOM), true or false.

	bUnicodeSignature = false;

	

	if( sFolder != "" ){

	    fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

	    f = fso.GetFolder(sFolder);

	    fc = new Enumerator(f.files);

	    sItem = "";

	    for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext()) {

	       n = fc.item().name.lastIndexOf(".");

	       if( n != -1 ){

	           if( fc.item().name.slice( n ) == sExt ){

	               sPath = sFolder + "" + fc.item().name;

	               try {

	                    editor.OpenFile( sPath, nSrcEncoding, eeOpenDetectUnicode );

	               }

	               catch(e){

	               	   break;

	               }

	               document.Encoding = nDestEncoding;

	               document.UnicodeSignature = bUnicodeSignature;

	               document.Save( sPath );

	               

	           }

	       }

	    }

	}

Hello!
You don’t really need a macro to run this task.
All you need is Menu > Search > Replace in Files.
More info in EmEditor Help-How to…-Search-Replace in Files.
