Search and Replace in Multiple Files

[Guest]

Is there a way to search and replace in multiple files all within the same
folder without opening them all?

GCTM:

You might also be interested in Jack Lyon's little MegaReplacer tool. It's
simple and effective, and highly regarded by many editors. Here's Jack's
description:

MegaReplacer: replaces multiple text strings (characters, words, or
phrases), text formatting, or styles in multiple documents. The perfect tool
for achieving complete consistency in a manuscript or for cleaning up all
kinds of errors in one fell swoop. Don't waste your time making the same old
editorial changes over and over again. Let MegaReplacer do it for you!

This is nifty, but it hasn't been written to replace whole words only. I also
assuming that it's not capable of doing a case-sensitive find and replace.

Greg's function is linked from the originally quoted web page, but the
original macro can be made to search with case sensitive by changing
..MatchWildcards = False
to
..MatchWildcards = True
There are some other issues relating to wildcard searches, see
