    Project files can be opened in NotePad, which supports "Search & Replace"

    I tend to do stuff like this with Notepad++. Just open up all the FRM files, and do a single search-and-replace on all of them at once. Also, once installed, Notepad++ typically puts an "Edit with Notepad++" context menu option on explorer, so you can select all your FRM files, and also get them all open in one fell swoop. I've opened 100s of files all at once this way. And the "Replace All in All Opened Documents" button is great.

    Good Luck,
