search/replace

[Tony Laszlo <laszlo@example.com>]

Hi folks. 

I have to do a search and replace on about 
30 keywords which appear in some 30 files. 
Most of the work is on English text, but 
maybe five of the keywords will be in 
Japanese. I think emacs can do this without 
too much fuss, but I haven't been using emacs 
much lately and am wondering if there might be 
another application which is particularly 
good for this task. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks!
