Looping through files

I'd like to loop through some files, open the files up, search for a keyword and change that keyword and then save and close that file.
Is this possible with textpad?

If you can copy/move all the files into the same folder, you might want to try doing that with WildEdit.

One could open up all the files in TextPad, and then use Replace with a Scope of All Documents. However, I agree with Bob to use WildEdit. IMHO, WildEdit is a more elegant solution for the problem, and it's far easier to use for such a problem.
