Hi Elaine, 350 is a huge number in this case... if you've access to a linux system I would advise you to use some shell comands, but an Windows I don't see any chances. I know Dreamweaver and other Editors have search/replace in multiple files, but they are not able to run RegExp in this searches.
There seem to be tools which are able to do this, but I don't know any of them and therefor do not want to recommend any. Try searching for "windows search replace regexp multiple files" or "windows search replace regular expressions multiple files". Maybe there are better options if you are an a Mac OS X system because of its unix core, but I don't know.
