Mass edit software for OSX
Anyone know where I can get a mac-based program that will allow me to mass edit an identical string of characters over hundreds of pages and directories?

I use BBEdit to do that assuming it's anything but word/excel docs.

Just found some perfect freeware
TexFinderX BBEdit is a great tool but it is not free. If I was looking for an editor, that would be one thing, but I would only ever use it for search and replace purposes. |

E.g. You have a directory called "$DIRECTORY", which is full of html files. in each of them you would like to substitute the sting "Example Title" to "My Title" then you could do this one liner in your terminal: cd $DIRECTORY; ls -1 *.html | while read line; do sed -e 's/Example Title/My Title' "$line" > "$line.tmp"; mv -v "$line.tmp" "$line";done This does substitute Example Title through My Title outputs it to filename.tmp and moves filename.tmp to filename. |
