    Anyways...I am looking for a way to find and replace text from multiple html files all at once -- does anyone know of any programs that can help me accomplish this?

    Thanks :D

    to replace text in files from your harddisk its easy,
    open all of your html files in textpad (www.textpad.com), press F8, Choose text to replace and Replace with, select 'All Documents', then 'save all'... done!

    You can write a real quick program to open each html file as a text file and do a string replace. If you know any programming language at all it should only take a couple of minutes.
