Multi-line replace across several/all buffers

Multi-line replace across several/all buffers

[AndyJB]

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.

Thanks

Andy

In Emacs 22, at least, you can do "dired-query-replace" by hitting Q
in a dired buffer.

And Emacs 21 and Emacs 20...
