How do I do a multi-file search and replace?

If you know regular expressions then here are two examples.

If your text exists all on one line you can use sed like Graham Stark did

find . -name "*.html" | xargs sed 's/alt="\(.*\)"/alt="\1" title="\1"/g' --in-place

which creates a title attribute wherever there was an alt attribute.

If you text exists across more than one line then you need multiline mode.
