I have a rather complicated search and replace I need to do among several dozen files and over a hundred occurrences. My site is written in PHP and throughout the old code, you will find things like
For my new design skins for the site, I need to get rid of these statements and transform them into something like
So it really takes the first part: die(" and replaces it with Echo "
And then, on the same line only, replace: ); with ;$h->endpage();exit;
Is there anyway this can be done or am I really going to have to manually go through all pages to make these changes? Thanks.

So I figured out an solution...
I am simply going to do a search/replace on the Die function and rename the function to something new. I can then write my own function to do what I originally needed.
Now I find myself unable to discover where on this forum I can delete my post to save everyone time. Well thanks for reading.

gnome-search-tool(1) General Commands Manual gnome-search-tool(1)NAME
gnome-search-tool - the GNOME Search Tool
SYNOPSIS
gnome-search-tool [options]
or select Search for Files... from a Main Menu or from the Places menu in a Menu Bar
DESCRIPTION
GNOME Search Tool is a utility for finding files on your system. To perform a basic search, you can type a filename or a partial filename,
with or without wildcards. To refine your search, you can apply additional search options.
GNOME Search Tool uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The case sensitivity of the search depends on your operating system. For
example, on Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i option, so all searches are case-insensitive.
For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help.
