RegEx Find/Replace Add-In for Microsoft Excel
(c) 2011 Justin Rodes (www.codedawn.com)
=============================================

DESCRIPTION:  RegEx Find/Replace provides a find/replace dialog that allows searching and replacing cell contents using regular expressions.  It also includes four worksheet functions for using regular expressions in cell formulas: RegExFind, RegExReplace, RegExTest and RegExMatchCount.

RegEx Find/Replace is free and does not include any spyware or adware.  See the included license.txt for legal information.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:  This add-in requires Microsoft Excel installed on Microsoft Windows.  It has not been tested on any version of Excel prior to Excel XP.

INSTALLATION:  Before installation, check Excel's macro security settings.  In Excel 2007 or later, make sure they are set to "Disable all macros except digitally signed macros."  In Excel 2003 or earlier, make sure they are set to "Medium."

To install RegEx Find/Replace, close Excel and run the included setup.exe file.  Under most circumstances, you do not need to have administrator privileges to run the setup.

USAGE:  In Microsoft Excel 2007 or later, RegEx Find/Replace appears as a button on the Home tab of the ribbon, next to the Editing group.
In Microsoft Excel 2003 or earlier, RegEx Find/Replace appears as a command in the Edit menu.

To access the worksheet functions from the Insert Function dialog, look under the Regular Expressions category (Excel 2003 or later), or the User Defined category (Excel XP or earlier).

UNINSTALLATION:  To uninstall RegEx Find/Replace, exit Microsoft Excel completely and click the "Uninstall RegEx Find-Replace" shortcut found in the Windows Start menu.  (Look under Start > All Programs > RegEx Find-Replace > Uninstall RegEx Find-Replace.)

If you chose not to create shortcuts during setup, you can delete the add-in manually.  The installation paths of the add-in are %appdata%\Microsoft\AddIns (delete "RegEx Find-Replace.xla" only) and %appdata%\RegExFindReplace (delete the entire folder).

After you uninstall RegEx Find/Replace and open Excel, if you get an error message like "...RegEx Find-Replace.xla(m) could not be found.  Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct...", perform the following steps:

In Excel 2007 or later:
  - Open Excel Options (found in the Office button menu in Excel 2007, or in the File menu in Office 2010).
  - Select Add-Ins from the list on the left.
  - In the Manage drop-down at the bottom, make sure "Excel Add-ins" is selected and click the Go button.
  - Uncheck the box next to RegEx Find/Replace in the list of add-ins and click OK.

In Excel 2003 or earlier:
  - Choose Add-Ins from the Tools menu.
  - Uncheck the box next to RegEx Find/Replace in the list of add-ins and click OK.
