    sed has many features, great stability and a huge installed base. It is capable of very complex (and simple) text manipulations based on a single line, a block of lines. It supports standard POSIX regular expressions, providing a well-known approach to identifying areas to be replaced, edited or deleted.

    regexxer is a nifty GUI search/replace tool featuring Perl-style regular expressions. If you need project-wide substitution and you’re tired of hacking sed command lines together, then you should definitely give it a try.
