is it possible to automatically remove a text constant from files in batch
processing?

I've got a bunch of web pages, all of which need one paragraph removed thanks to a fluff I made when creating the pages... Maybe I'm using the wrong wording but I can't find anything in google either. :-(

Do you know of any programs that can look at a group of files and strip out the key phrase automatically?

Thx!

1. can you use the Find & Replace function in Dreamweaver?
i *think* it will recognize a single blank space as a legit replace. :shrug:

Good for stripping things out of an entire site at once.

Dreamweaver fuckin RAWKS! I made $750 this weekend hammering out a little php admin utility for a database driven site :bounce: :bounce:

4. Ah, 3 for DW... Except I don't have $400 and I would only use MX 2002
(not MX 2004, I looked that up and found NUMEROUS complaints about their licensing issues and bugs)... :-(

6. Oh cool!
Just did.

But what if I need it past 30 days? Right now I use frontpage, though I hand-code my CSS and strip out the unneeded image attributes and other crap afterwards?

7. You asked for a help with a single task
Dreamweaver will let you do it, beyond that is up to you.
