Open all files in a folder using notepad++

Question

I have to make a minor change in all the html files of my site. The files are stored in structure which is as below,

/Site --2012   --Jan     --File1.html     --File2.html     --File3.html     --File3.html   --Feb     --File1.html     --File2.html 

And so on..

There are files from 2006 stored in a similar fashion. Opening each of them manually is time consuming as there are hundreds of files.

Is there a easier way to do this using notepad++?

Answer 1

You can just simply drag the folder containing your site files into notepad++. It opens all files(I assume it just opens txt,html, and other compatible files) including ones in sub directories.

Alternatively, if you want to do them one month at a time you could do File>Open and then shift+click from the top to the bottom to select as many files as you want.

Or just use a better text editor like sublime text where you can just open entire folders

Answer 2

Click on View -> Project Panel 1

Only if there's nothing in the panel click on Workspace -> New Workspace

Otherwise click on Workspace -> Add New Project

Click on Project Name and click on Edit -> Add Files from directory.

Works with Notepad++ ver. 6.7.4
