title: Mass Find and Replace in Multiple XML Files
body: <p>I need to do a find and replace on 700+ XML files for the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;base&gt;7.4&lt;/base&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>needs to become</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;base&gt;7.2&lt;/base&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, the only tool I have to use is Notepad++, and it continually crashes when I try to do the "replace in files" function. Is there another easy way to perform this mass find and replace? I'm not much of a coder, but they're all in the same folder, maybe there's a way I could use a .bat file to run through them? Any advice on what to do or how to write that would be much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,</p>
  
  <p>Colette</p>
