Under Unix a standard for this is the tool "sed", the "stream editor", which now also has found it's was into Mac OS-X. A modern version of sed is perl. Well, perl can do a lot more, but it can also simply replace text in a lot of textfiles.
Another tool, which might be useful is awk (or gawk), which is standard on most Unix platforms and very easy to learn (compared to perl). It scans input line by line and does transformations based on searchstrings in that line. Considering the line oriented way, Pd patches are stored that could be another option, being somewhere between sed and perl.
