I'm about to start a renaming project on a major data driven website USING VISUAL STUDIO and WINDOWS XP. I've got a script to change the company name in the data/tempates thousands of times. Does anyone have any ideas how I can verify that all of the names have been changed? Is there a way to pull the generated files down to my disk so I can grep it out?
A:
what you need is a website crawler that can save retrieved pages to disk. There are many programs of this kind available on the Internet.

Do you use any specific web server or publishing system? But perhaps one huge, recursive wget is enough?

And you can find wget for Windows here: http://www.cygwin.com/

Would probably also be very helpful to OP if you posted instructions; recursive WGET isn't exactly easy.

A:
Visual Studio offers a Find In File (ctrl+shift+f). Search for what you need and it will list all the location of what it was able to find.
Review and replace.

Good idea but the site is data driven from several sources. I'm worried about missing one or more.

Though that your solution was in Visual Studio, but turns out that its more than one solution. Good luck :D
