Fix generated files

There's a golden rule: Never ever change the generated files !!

But there are some cases where fixing generated files is inevitable. For that I've found a small handy program called FART (Find And Replace Text).
hxxp://fart-it.sourceforge.net/
No need to install. Just copy fart.exe into your C:\ drive then create a *.bat file.

For example:
filename: myFart.bat
@ECHO OFF
cd "C:\"
fart "C:\xampp\htdocs\app_dev\ewcfg14.php" "192.168.1.2" "127.0.0.1"
EXIT

Running this file will change connection string IP address inside ewcfg14.php from "192.168.1.2" to "127.0.0.1".

Use with caution. Always remember the golden rule.

As mentioned, try not to change customize the generated script file as possible.

For such case, then you should use "Database_Connecting" server event instead.

I am going to get this added to the repair tool. Will this work for 32 & 64 bit, and all versions of Windows?
