Search all (PBL) files on all hard drives. Used for: https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/regarding-pbls-from-a-computer. Not the fastest way to search for all files. For now, improved by showing a dw to let the user select only the disks needed for scanning and adding the possibility to exclude the windows (%WINDIR%) and Program Files folders. The speed can be further improved by not searching for "*.*" but something like "*.pbl" instead. The only "problem" with that, is that it would exclude sub-folders. Not impossible, maybe I'll update the app some day. PB2019 Download

Fast Replace(). Used for: https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/use-c-for-replace-function. This is an example of how to use a .Net assembly ( .Net Framework 4.5.1 to allow older windows versions) and the C#'s Replace() function instead of Powerbuilder's Replace(). This is a lot faster when having to replace lots of occurrences within larger strings. It would even be faster if I would have used .Net Core, but "managers wanted to be backwards compatible with old windows versions". The app also shows other techniques to replace strings.
