    Hi Mel. UltraEdit[^] is a great text editor - not free, but cheap (around $30 last time I bought it). It does find and replace across files (among numerous other features).

    I second UltraEdit. Great all around text editing tool.

          I don't trust any Window's application. I prefer to open all files manually, read them and replace all instances of text with something else. Once I'm done, I reopen all files and read them once more to make sure I correctly replaced all files that I wanted and left all those that I didn't intact. It's best if you can charge this to a contract. :omg:

              Excellent recommendation. UltraEdit has been my text editor of choice for many years now.

                My favorite is Search and Replace by Funduc 3.7. Very powerful, but it's $25 shareware. Brian

                  The Visual Studio editor can do it... :-D Sometimes I feel like I'm a USB printer in a parallel universe.
