I am in the process of migrating servers and I am posed with an issue. We have 460 + lists and I would like to change their archive directory locations. My problem is that I do not want to do a get and post for each list. What are my options to do a massive update to the list headers? I have tried to use visual Interdev to do a search and replace in these files and was unsuccessful. I then found out that all the .list files for non-vm machines are stored in a binary file format.. not ASCII. Visual c++ has a binary editor in which I can search and replace in one file at a time, however is limited and can not do a massive search to give me an index of every .list file that matches my search pattern. -John ___________________________________________________ ITtoolbox: Portals for IT Doers and Decision-Makers http://www.ITtoolbox.com
