I run a number of websites and I find the Replace option, in the Coffee Cup Editor, very useful in replacing code in a large number of HTML files, in one go.

However, in about 1000 HTML files, I have the following construction:-
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000" WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=600> <PARAM NAME="SRC" VALUE="FILENAME.pdf"><EMBED SRC="FILENAME.pdf" HEIGHT=800 WIDTH=600> <NOEMBED> Your browser does not support embedded PDF files.</NOEMBED> </EMBED></OBJECT>

which I would like to be replaced by:-
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=FILENAME.pdf">

Where FILENAME, differs in each file.

My question is - Has anybody got a script, which would enable me to do this?

(The reason I need to do this, is because there are now new OSs coming along, so my original construction, which displayed PDF files, now causes problems with the new OSs.)

How many can you manually do a minute?

Thanks,

About two per minute.

That would be faster then I could come up with anything usable.

I strongly recommend TextPad for jobs like this
It has regular expressions so you can replace (simplified example) .. abc<file>def by ghi<file>jkl
in multiple files in one pass -- about 10 minutes work by the time you have tested it.
