I have a folder containing some 300 small text files. Since most of these were copied from the web, many contain characters purporting to be the apostrophe but are not. I wish to examine each file in this folder to find and replace such characters with Ansi 027 or whatever the value is for the genuine apostrophe. I know how to search and replace within one file; but, what does one do to tell Ed Sharp to search each text file in the folder to see if any characters need replacing? Thanks in advance for feedback.
