Oh, but you can (provided of course that you can tell Vim how to find
the files and how to find the symbols). Here is an example:
:args ./**/*.html
:argdo %s/\<ape\>/monkey/g |update
The :update command (within the argdo) writes the file if modified, so
you won't have an error for trying to |abandon| a modified file.
Alternately, you could set 'autowriteall'. 'hidden' I don't recommend in
this case, because all your 'modified' buffers (even those not displayed
in a window), would then be kept in memory, with a higher risk of memory
exhaustion.
Of course, if there are many directories and files to scan, the command
may take quite some time, but I expect it to work except for very many
very large files (see ":help limits").
Best regards,
Tony.
