    Hi,

    I'm looking for a decent free "search and replace" type program, which will allow me to search for multiple lines of text and replace them.
    So for example I wanted to be able to search for:

    this is a test<br/>
    this is another text<br/>

    and replace it with:

    new text<br/>
    new text again<br/>


    Anyone know of anything that is suitable and free?


    Thanks for any help

    Wordpad, notepad, etc... Replace is found under the Edit menu option.

    Notepad2 will replace all occurrences within the same document at the same time. Free download from this page

    A program called multi-replace will replace the text in a series of documents. You will have to Google that one.

    ^
    +1 for Notepad++
    It can search and replace even in all files in a given directory. Regex search and replace is also supported!
