[HLUG] search and replace of paragraphs inside all the files ina folder

[George DiceGeorge]

dont think Libre Office will do it,
an WYSIWYG freeware editor please
but maybe i'm going to have to study virtual machines
and do it with my old homesite 1.1 in XP
but im too drunk for that tonight!

Or do all hundred-ish individually!

Hi George

The Linux way is probably with grep and awk but although powerful not easy
to get to grips with to start with.

I'm sure there's probably another way too
