ok, i hope this isn;t a stupid question...

i have 200 .txt files. i have to change ONE LINE (same sentence) of text inside each file.

can i do this with TEXTPAD without opening each of the 200 files?

i know dreamweaver can do something similar with .htm(l) files.

can textpad?

thanks in advance!

I think you need to open the files. Try the Search and Replace tool here:

which I have found to be a great companion to TextPad

Go to http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/, download and install the unix utilities, and use SED to change your files from a dos prompt.

HTH,
