Notes
The [Files] Find and Replace module allows to do a bulk oriented copy and replace on one or more specified files. By default, the Find parameter wil search for the literal text specified by this value. If the Use Regular Expression parameter is set to true, then instead of the Find parameter being literal text, it should be a regular expression that should be searched for. The Replace parameter should be the literal text that you want to replace each found occurance with. If this is an empty value, then the result will be that all occurances of the found text will just be deleted.
