Hi everyone,

Right now I'm trying to remove every comma (,) from a certain tag in my pages. I've got several hundred pages and don't want to do it manually. Also, I just want to remove the comma from one tag, not the actual written content of the pages. Soo... Is there a good find and replace tool that will do this?

I've tried Dreamweaver MX's but it won't let you search within specific tags - only if you choose the "Text (Advanced)" option, and that doesn't seem to work either.

Any other software that could do it?

Also - Any good software that can be used to rename files? Example, I want to change the images on one site from being all blue_widget.jpg to blue-widget.jpg. Is there a way to automate that?

Thanks for any help!

Doesn't seem to work either.

Basically, i want to remove all the commas from my meta keywords tag.

I tried the text advanced find and replace in Dreamweaver but it just doesn't want to work.

I need something that will specifically let me remove characters from a specific tag.

Anyone?

I had someone suggest TextPad. Have tried it, like it a lot. I can replace something on 200 pages in about 10 seconds.
