perl -pi -e "s/Find This String/Replace with this String/" *.ext

No doubt there are options for seasoned users but still not quite as easy as clicking a button to do it. You would also need a better regular expression or you would easily wipe out and ruin the other files.
You could also do for each and grep, etc.. just that each time you would spend a while with the syntax unless you did it often, in an advanced editor it takes that guess work out of it.

I'm not trying to persuade anyone to change what or how they do things - just being a post W... like Gizmo - hehe wink
