I have a bunch of html files that i need to do a couple of things to:
1.remove the html and head tags and replace them with other code
2.rename the file to .php

Isn't there a program that will search all the files in a given
directory for html and head and then replace that with something
else? Then rename the files? I have seen the replace function in
gedit but it does not accept the php code that needs to be inserted
(i think the code is to long). Anyone no of a program/way that will
accomplish this?


Cannot help you with the first requirement but regarding renaming the
files use XnView to do this. XnView is basically a picture viewing
application but, surprisingly, it doesn't care what the files are when
you use its Batch Rename facility - it will happily rename the
extension of the files for you.

Place all the html-extension files in the one directory then use the
Batch Rename facility in XnView to rename the extenions to .php.

Cheers.

Doesn't Quanta plus have a function like this?
