I assume your point is that you aren't actually changing the file names, just
adding a query string to the anchors and links that refer to the. If so, here's
a quick and dirty approach.
Make sure your query identifier string is unique across your entire site. Maybe
“?reloadVersion=version” or something equally ugly.
Now just do a site-wide search-and-replace. Cmd-Shift-F to open the multi-file
search dialog. Search string: “\?reloadVersion=[\d.]+“. Check Grep. Replacement
string “?reloadVersion=yourNewVersionNumber”. Search in: Frontmost Project
(assuming your site is kept as a BBEdit project). Click Replace All.
Specifying a new version each time is up to you. You can probably automate it
with AppleScript, but probably not worth the time. But if you do want to do it,
I'd suggest just using something like "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" for the version string
— guaranteed unique, no cleverness required.
