I have Notepad++, actually. It's a great tool, but it's not an option
here because I need to make the same replacement in more than a hundred
files, and opening all at the same time in tabs is too much.

Also, Notepad++ seems to have problems with Japanese text files in
Shift-JIS. That's why I mostly use the Hidemaru text editor instead.
