I have a site that was designed to be based on a dreamweaver template. There are hundreds of essays in separate html files, tags include titles, authors, date written, plus metadata in the HTML header. Basically I want to do a site redesign and base the site off a few CSS's instead; I want to either grab the content out of the files to new ones (is this possible?) or tinker around locally with the files trying out different find and replace options.

i.e. replace all
Code:
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="title" -->
with
Code:
<h1>
Any ideas? I'll be looking at the files when my client sends them my way.
