This is a great program, called Regexxer which allows you to search for a string, using RegEx, and replace the string across multiple files.
In the left pane, specify the folder and the name pattern. Then click Find Files to get a list of the files.
In the right pane, enter the regular expression to search for. Then enter the text you want to replace it with. Finally, click Find.
Accept the changes as you see fit; you’re given the option to replace each occurrence of the text (one at a time) using Replace, all occurrences of the text in the current file using This file, or all occurrences of the text in all files using All files.
Once the changes are finished and accepted, press the save icon in the top left hand corner. Any file that has changed will be saved. The search and replace across multiple files is complete. It’s quick, easy, and extremely useful.
