| Simply copy the content of the file, paste it in new text file on your system and then open the file using an application like notepad++ then use the search and replace function of notepad++ search for the term "Example" and replace it with "New Word". Thats all. If you need it to be done on a linux machine with just SSH access reply back and I will post a solution for that too. I guess you just need it for windows and I am too lazy to type for linux if u dont need it

| If your files are on a linux server and you can SSH into it try this
Login using your SSH credintials and follow these steps. They were meant to clean base64 code just edit it to suit your needs by replacing the search query
$ find . -type f | xargs grep “dGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3Q=”
This command will search for all files in the current folder that contain the following string:
“dGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3Q=”.
Here is how the output of that command will look like:
./themes/default/single.php: |

| Hi,
Before trying this bulk change, make sure you are have tested this properly on a single file.
sed -i 's/old_word/new_word/g' File.php
Try the above for one file and then check if it is as you expected because you don't want to be in a situation of getting things messed up.
