Imagine a directory C:\SomeFolder , now there are a couple of text files present inside the folder and i want to replace one word which is present in all those files to some other word. Can we do that?
 
You can do it with the Find/Find Replace feature. You have to have the document open to do this.

If you dont undertsand what i mean, open MSWord and Press ctrl F. Click the middle tab.
 
I am afraid you will only be able to replace text of one document at once. So, if you have several files to replace a text, you have to open them all and do the same job.
 
I tend to use macromedia Homesite to do this as I use it editing hyper text.

I have used other little shareware apps before to do it but it was ages ago and I can't remember the name of them :o

If you search on the open source code site www.sourceforge.net someone has bound to have written something you can use for free.

If you are desperate I could write a quick vb.net app but only if you are desperate :)
 
I didn't find anything at sourceforge.net to get the job done. Maybe you or someone else can write something for me? :)
