title: Replace line of text Notepad++ or UltraEdit
body: <p>Real quick question here that i cant work out.</p>
  
  <p>I have a bunch of text files across many directories. Within these dirs are text files named init.txt</p>
  
  <p>In these many text files, are lots of lines <em>starting with</em></p>
  
  <pre><code>Effective = 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What i need to do is replace any line that contains that string with another string, 
  preferably in Notepad++, or UltraEdit if need be.</p>
  
  <p>In Notepad++, iv found Search -> Replace in Files... which lets me specify a starting directory, but i cant get to replace the entire line with my new line.</p>
  
  <p>I have never used regular expressions before (if thats the best way to do this) as iv never needed to, so any help would be very much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for helping me out.</p>
