* Multi-line replace across several/all buffers @ 2006-09-09 11:05 AndyJB 2006-09-09 23:08 ` Eric Hanchrow 2006-09-10 5:13 ` John Sullivan 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: AndyJB @ 2006-09-09 11:05 UTC (permalink / raw) Hi Can someone tell me if there's a way to do a multi-line search and replace across a number of buffers/files? Or will I have to write my own? Nothing I've found so far does what I want - I have a block of text which occurs in a number of files and I want to replace it with a new block across all of those files.
