NEdit is perfectly able to do things like this using regexes, in the
whole file or in multiple files. See help node 3.
If it gets a bit more complicated, he could use NEdit's macro
language, see help node 22.
Learning Perl is a good idea though. I'm afraid I didn't learn it from
a book, so all I can say is that the combination of the Camel book and
Ram book is great for daily work.
