What's the best dedicated search-and-replace GUI tool on a Mac? "Find & Replace It!" seems decent, but they've ridiculously disabled the replace function in the demo, so I can't give it a real test before paying. Is there anything else comparable or better?

A:
you don't have to pay a dime for anything! If your OS has bash/sed/find/etc and other *nix tools, you can do your own script to do find and replace! eg if you have sed
sed -i.bak 's/find/replace/g' *.txt

I think the question asked for a GUI app.

Huge overkill, but Eclipse's find and replace dialogue is pretty solid. Supports regexes with excellent syntax help.
I was going to recommend sed as well, if it hadn't been for the gui requirement :)

It seems that the version 1.0 of Find & Replace It! allows replacing in its trial version. Personnaly I like it for its preview feature and its scripting possibilities.
