I regularly open multiple files with the default text editor on Ubuntu (which is http://www.gedit.org). If I close the app, I think, though can't guarantee this, it closes the files I haven't changed and asks me whether I want to save the rest. It may also preserve parameters of the replace command across files that are open at any time. Is that the kind of thing you are looking for?

Assuming that you are keeping this in git, why not just do the following: a) Make sure everything has been commited. b) Use sed/perl/python/whatever to do the changes on the command line. c) Use git with an external graphical diff program to review the changes. For a graphical diff I use mgdiff (in Debian and Ubuntu at least) and have two aliases: alias git-mgdiff='git diff ' alias git-diff='git diff --no-ext-diff ' The external diff is set up in $HOME/.gitconfig using: [diff] external = /home/user/scripts/git-mgdiff-wrapper.sh and the wrapper script is simply: #!/bin/bash mgdiff $5 $2 exit 0 HTH, Erik -- -- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

If it's a problem with leaving the editor open with only changed files,
then I can suggest something like this:
vim -o $(git status --porcelain | awk ' /^ M/ { print $2 } ')

Thanks guys for your suggestions! I like the idea of combining
sed/git/vim:
git commit -m cleanup
sed 's/foo/bar' *
vi `git st -s | grep '^ M' | cut -c4-` # edit changed files
Eric, I'll also check out mgdiff.

[SLUG] search and replace multiple files?
I'm looking for a GUI that allows me to search and replace in multiple files, then leaves open the files that have changed - any pointers? For example, I want to replace def fubar with def snafu across 50 files. I then want to close all the files that didn't have changes, so I can investigate the changed files in more detail (yes, I'm refactoring).

Re: [SLUG] search and replace multiple files?
jEdit will do that - http://www.jedit.org/ It is java based, so you'll need a JRE installed.

I know you know about sed but I don't know you know how to edit multiple
files in-place in a single command in perl. sed is a pain to edit files
in-place as it has to write to a temp file and then typically rename that
temp file to replace the original file.
If you are not using SCM (or git in particular), then you should be.

Nice site.
Again, not the question I was asking...
I don't know how to get your editor to do it and leave only changed files
open. I suppose it's possible using vim macros but it's not something I
have spent any time learning. I know you know how to edit multiple files
in vim but this is one of the more trivial features of the editor and I
don't know that you know anything about vim macros or have any desire to
learn what is probably a pretty complicated solution for a problem which
can be solved easily with two steps.
I would myself have done the refactoring exactly how I showed it, and
let git keep track of what files have changed.
If it's a problem with leaving the editor open with only changed files,
then I can suggest something like this:
vim -o $(git status --porcelain | awk ' /^ M/ { print $2 } ')
