Listed here are the feature differences between
Search and Replace 'classic',
Replace Studio Pro, and
Replace Studio Business Edition.
By way of background, Replace Studio 'Pro' is designed for those
who primarily use the program via the graphical interface. The
'Business Edition' is designed for those who primarily use complex
scripts that may contain multiple paths &/or special options
settings within the script itself. The 'Business Edition' does
have a graphical interface and it can be used interactively via
the GUI. However, for impromptu general search/replacing, the 'Pro'
version is more convenient to use.
Can the 'Pro' version use Replace Studio 'scripts'? Yes. The 'Pro'
version loads scripts in the form of 'Favorites'. A Favorite can
contain multiple search/replace strings and a single file
mask/path. If a Favorite contains multiple mask/path settings only
the first mask/path is recognized. Also note that options settings
within a Favorite are not possible and the 'Pro' version does not
support processing a Favorite automatically on the command line.
Also - Use of the word
'business' in the program title for Replace Studio 'Business
Edition' does not mean that the program is only for business
users. We chose that term 'business edition' because, in general,
it is corporate & business customers who most often use complex
scripts that are passed to the program via the command line. If
you require a combination of free-form GUI
use and scripted tasks via the command line, a dual use license
for both forms of Replace Studio is the best choice. Discount
package pricing is available when both forms are purchased at the
same time.
