# File Replace Content Action

With the help of the File Replace Content Action it is possible to replace the content of a file that can be read, opened and changed by the operating system. To do this, it is necessary to know the content to be replaced, since this must be specified in the form of a string in the node. It is possible to replace the defined string with any value available in the stream.

The node can be used, for example, to replace the name of a sequence or the paths of the existing assets within the project.
