I have quite a large site that I want edit. Although large - all the webpages are of the same format and very similar. Instead of going through all of the many webpages making changes manually, I would be very interested to hear of any automated methods. I would like to do:
) Find and replace - find a certain word on each webpage and replace it with another given word (maintaining the link that is underneath the word - the link that applies when the word is clicked on)
) Change filenames - cut a certain word that is currently in all the filenames (and thus the links) and replace it with another.
) Find and cut - find a certain word on each webpage and cut it. Also, cutting the link that is underneath this word (the link that applies when the word is clicked on).
Unfortunately I do not have dreamweaver. I only have access to free and open source tools.
) Find and replace - find a certain word on each webpage and replace it with another given word (maintaining the link that is underneath the word - the link that applies when the word is clicked on)These are basically the same action, the only differnce you would replace the found text with nothing. WildEdit (By the makers of TextPad (textpad.com)) does exactly this.

Have looked up that wildedit. Looks just the thing i am after. unfortunately it is not free (although has free trial). does anyone know the same kind of thing - but free or open source? Thought it would at least be worth asking.
