Drop this CGI script into any directory on
your webserver and run it from the browser or telnet and it instantly does a search and
replace (or delete) for any regular expression(s) in every file present inside the
directory structure. Smartspider technology locates all files and will completely
probe even the most complex subdirectory trees. Use it to replace (for example) any
slogan, menubar, graphic link, phrase, misspelled word(s), old phone numbers, etc.
Best of all is you can use this tool to remove all of those stupid MICROSOFT spam HTML
tags <!--msnavigation--> &
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="t, default"> for example from your entire website. The CGI
script counts, logs and reports on all files filtered in real time. CGI script is
extremely fast.
