Replacing text in multiple HTML files

[Domo]

I need to replace a text string in over 100 HTML files. Is there any trusted freeware app out there which can do this?

Not sure if notepad ++ can do find/replace. Could always use dreamweaver, 30 day free trial, then uninstall it. Just an idea.

Notepad++ can indeed do find and replace and do it on all open documents.

I find 'actual search and replace' to be a godsend. It can delete, replace, insert before, insert after. It also does regular expressions and multi line.
It's shareware though for 30 days.

Edit: Forgot to mention it does batch editing too. You can specify a root folder and it'll search everything in that folder for whatever you want to replace. No need to open everything.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have Dreamweaver CS3 at the moment and the Search and Replace functions is brilliant. You can select a folder to perform the action against, as well as all open docs.
I've been using Dreamweaver for years and never realised this before - the ball ache it could have saved!! Geez!

If you want something free, try Simple Search-Replace. It doesn't do regexes but otherwise it works very well
