Bulk find an replace in several files

[Compworld]

I need to find specific words in over 100 .htm files. Instead of opening each one and manually searching each file for the words that need to replaced, is there a way or program to seach these files and replace what I need to replace within a few clicks? I.E. search for myname in index.htm, new.htm, etc. and replace myname to compworld in all files?

Thanks,

CompWorld

dreamweaver makes a pretty good job of this if you have access to it.

or ultraedit

BK Replace Em [boolean.ca] is also excellent (and free):

my personal favorite for this is NoteTab. You can have it search and replace an entire disk and choose to keep a back up of the original, confirm before the replace or just do a mass replace (and back up) without confirming - dangerous and time consuming if you are not 100% sure ;)

Try textpad. Although you have to open the files, you can open all at once. Global find and replace works very fast.
