Could be done with perl fairly easily. I've been looking for documentation on munge.exe
and can't find anything... Ohh wait found something.
Okay
Create a new text file called replace.txt and in it put only
replacedword newword
and save the file
Now create a batch file that goes something like this
for %%a in (file?.txt) do munge replace.txt %%a
and run the batch file.
This one will replace all instances of
replacedword
in all files with a name meeting the criteria of file?.txt
with the word
newword.
get it??
Could still be done with perl, or vb/vbscript (more complicated, but do-able).
