| Civilians |  Advanced search & replace - 4000 pages I consider helping an organization to implement a new website layout. They add new pages every week, so they have about 4000 webpages. So I just cannot implement a new layout by hand. I need some (freeware) software that can insert and replace text on multiple html pages. I only need to do some basic standard tasks for all pages such as: Insert a link to a stylesheet in the page head: <link rel="StyleSheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"> And replace all: <body ...something....> with <body> So it could be a simple search-and-replace tool that can replaces text starting with "<body" and ending with ">", with "<body>", etc. |

Euw. It might do multiple search and replace fine, but what about all that other icky goo that comes with it?

The code isn't what I meant. I meant all those other tools that the OP doesn't need. He/she only wanted a global S&R tool.

Multi-lines are the tough part. (obviously you'd want to test it first) Might I suggest something like docbook of there are 1000's of pages being added? Docbook or some other standard that is 'easy' to change. Wouldn't exactly call docbook 'easy' as far as getting the tools working, but it is kind of nice once it's installed, I suppose one could use just a subset and then a personal XSLT to do the transform.
