How to search directory for specific files?

How can I recursively search-and-replace terms in .xls and .docx files?

  • I want to recurse through a directory tree and search-and-replace some terms in Excel/Word files.

  • Answer:

    There's a nice freeware Macro to do this with Office. http://www.funduc.com/word_sr.htm.  Word Search and Replace can process more than one file by specifying a 'wild card' in the dialog's 'File Mask (with path)' field. And it can search in a single directory, and even sub-directories. Source: http://softcity.comNot what is needed.
