---- How to edit a bunch of static HTML files at once?

It's for stuff like this that I still keep a copy of Homesite installed (first it was Allaire Homesite, then Macromedia Homesite, then Adobe bough Macromedia, and it vanished). Outdated, deprecated, bought out by progressively fatter software companies until it got relegated into not-quite-abandonware (ie: you can't buy it, but lord help you if you in any way violate the copyright). So don't go searching in the darker parts of the net for it, because that would be wrong >:-}
And still, hands down, the best HTML code editing software ever.

Mass search and replace:
All open files (organized in tabs, years before tabs were cool).
All files in a directory.
All files in a group of directories.

For old "code junkies" who never cottoned on to WYSIWIG design tools that generate their own (bloated) code, it still reigns supreme. (IMHO)

OMG! I've meet someone else that thinks this too. I've used HomeSite right from the start (when it was Allaire HomeSite) which is about 7 years now. I've tried to move away the but the search and replace has always dragged me back. Amazing feature.
