I downloaded the program and looked at the options. It doesn't
look like I can substitute more than one string like:

$logdir = "c:\temp"
$username = "test"

Am I mistaken?

Multiple changes
Hi!

Sorry there is no possibilty to make multiple changes!
But you are not in trouble, if you are using a batch file for preparing your scripts.

If these changes are for your script or while preparing for an NSIS build and not runtime you should use the NSIS preprocessor or if you need more power (or to process non-NSIS scripts) a general preprocessor such as my free one would be a better choice. If interested have a look at:

Now if anyone has an NSIS function for seach replace a string then please let me know!

I guess a pp (like yours) would do the job, but it's a little more
complex than I want it to be (maintenance perspective). I've tried to use "minitrue" and that works quite nicely. The only problem is it doesn't regconize long file names!!! I guess I have to use your pp (thx for a nice prog).
