what kind of files?

i know when I'm coding HTML or PHP in Adobe's Macromedia DreamWeaver, the "Find and Replace" has options to search all documents in a "site" not just the currently open file.

I use that quite a bit when I need to make minor changes system wide.  Don't know if that helps in your situation.

Yeah... Homesite does the same thing.  Textpad could handle text files for you... it all depends on the type of file.
