  OT: Advanced search and replace?

This post is a bit off-topic, but I hope it's ok.

I want to redesign my website and it most of the work can basically be done
by replacing chunks of HTML with other chunks of HTML.

Some text editors support multiple-file search and replace. This function
could almost, but not quite, do what I need. One of the problems is that the
chunks of code I need to search and replace are dozens of lines long, which
is usually not supported by text-editors.

I heard some time ago a discussion on this news-server about scripts which
could do those things that I need. IIRC for Windows vb-script was mentioned.
But I don't know anything about vb-script. How (and where) can I learn to
use vb-script or similar for the things I need? I need some very basic
tutorials or something...

BTW, the website I am to redesign is mostly about POV-Ray; I hope that
slightly justifies the OT post... :)

Thanks in advance,

Rune
