Hello
We are planning to upgrade SAS and this requires updating the host names.
There are a large number of SAS EG project files having the host names hard coded in the programs.
Wondering if there is a way we can perform a text replacement for all EG project in a batch mode in one go?

What type of SAS upgrade? SAS 9.4 maintenance level upgrade or something else? I don't think there is any batch-style way of doing this. However, given EGP files are simply zip files, it should be easy enough to use a zip tool to open them, then use "find-and-replace" tools like Notepad++ to make the required changes.
