a bunch of html files we have (could be over 200), have been appended with some text
is there an app out there that you can run that will check files for a string and delete it if it finds it...kind of like a find / replace but for multiple files

do you have frontpage?
If so, the find/replace is great, and you can search by all files in a folder, AND search the code specifically.

I think BBEdit can, but don't hang me if not

i dont have frontpage
thing is...there are like 200 folders with folders in them with who knows how many HTML files within them...i need to check each and every one of those files and i dont feel like opening up each folder ;)
can frontpage peform functions like that? perhaps just selecting a base directory and then running a script to find and replace any instance of "blahblahblah" within either a php, html or asp file?

Any decent text editor has that.

yea, dreamweaver can do it...thats sick...i never knew you could do it on mulitple files without even opening them first
you just do find / replace and select a folder and it runs through all the files
fantastic!!!

frontpage can do that all.
I just had to do such a thing on more than 2000 files in at least 60 folders.

I have to do this all the time in dreamweaver, the original designer had no idea how to "include" something.
