The Explorer in MS FrontPage will do something like this, but you have
to import the files into FP first.
You can enter a search and replace command...it will go from page to
page, open the page, bring you to the string to be changed, make the
change, then save and close the file. It opens each first so that you
can decline a particular change instead of it being done without your
input.

them.
