Wanted: software for search and replace

[Alar]

I need software for the common "search and replace" task.

Special requirements.

Number of files is HUGE and the html files are located in several level of subdirectories. Soft must be able to cope with this.

Must be able to store the replacement rules as macro for later repetitive use.

Number of replacements is done sometimes by replacing several lines of html code with "" or with new html code.

Would be nice if it could replace
<x>something one</x>
<x>something two</x>
in one go by using
<x>*</x> in search string.

im also using homesite from allaire like the extended replace, it works best for my online bible which has about 2,500+ pages, i dunno if it will suffice what youre requirements are.

I know that UltraEdit Studio has feature to do S'n'R along multiple filesin multiple subdirs, it has macros, but its not too easily scriptable.
