Text editor that replaces multiple lines at once

At the moment I'm using Textpad but it lacks the possibility to find/replace multiple lines at the same time. Dreamweaver makes a mess of it because it appends lines to others so I don't want to use it.

I've got to clean up a very messy site and a text editor that can replace multiple lines at once would ease my work so much.

Any suggestions are greately appreciated.

Another vote for Search and Replace 98. It's very quick and efficient.

bluecorr, I've never had a problem using Textpad to replace several lines of text at once. Simply check the box for a "regular expression" search and use \n (or possibly \n\r) at the end of your lines.
