I'd like to define a set of files within which I can search and replace text.
To clarify:
I would like to be able to search, e.g., in all files xk*.tex in a given directory (and excluding backup files). I would also like to be able to change the expression, e.g., "uncertainty", to "indeterminacy" in all files dd*.sh and ee*.cls .
What is the standard way to do this?
