Find and Replace text in Eclipse

Question

I am using eclipse IDE.I need to modify thousands of hbm.xml file by replacing the text generate="always" to generate="never". Please tell me the easiest way.

Answer 1

Click on the "Search" button, click on the "File Search" tab, set the filename to hbm.xml, set the text to generate="always" and click on the "Replace" button at the bottom. When it's search for all matches, it'll offer you another dialog to say what to replace it with.
