Help in replacing lines in various files

[Funny]

Guys I have to do a particular work.
I don't know how to go about it. Kindly help!

The work is that-
Suppose I have 100 (.php) files, all files containing a line like-
File one- Revision Version- R001
File two- Revision Version- R002
and so on.

I want to replace the whole line in all files with-
Revision 2.1
That is Revision Version- XXXX to Revision 2.1 in all files.

I am using Notepad++
I think there is a option to do that with N++
If anyone knows then please share.
Or if there is any other way let me know..

Thankyou

you can do this easily using sed on a linux environment
just need to write a bash script to find and replace these lines

You can try the tool here:

OR

In Notepad++
Press Ctrl + F -- > Find In Files

@master- Im on windows env.

@soft-
But how can I replace the changing digits?
Normal replace is easy. But as i told already,
File one has- Text 001
File two has- Text 002
File 3 has- Text 003
And so on...
I want to replace the word Text and the changing digits XXX in every file.
How do I do that?

Set the search mode to regex (Regular Expressions)



It will replace Text 001, Text 002, Text 003 with specified text

Ok if they are all on a single line ending in the R001-XXXX

then change the find string to :

Version- (.*)

the replace string with :

Version- 2.1

And be sure to choose folder and include sub folders if needed and filter *.php .
Then click the regular expression radio button at the bottom.

PS Always do a find file alone before adding the replacement text
