If you do not want to use Dired then you could try looking at 'globrep.el',
this allows you to use the results of a grep-find, change the found data
using 'replace-string' etc.. and then put the data back (globrep.el provides
the functions to put the changed data back).
I use it a lot and although it does have some quirks, it works very well and
intuitively.

Subject: [h-e-w] Global search/replace across files?
I'm sure there must be a tool for searching and replacing based on regexps
across files. I just don't know what it is. Can anyone enlighten me?
I'm trying to build nmh with cygwin, and the makefiles all contain
SHELL = /bin/sh
For some reason, they only work if I change this to
SHELL = sh
but there's a whole tree of makefiles that all contain this
string. (NOTE: I can run 'sh', but for some reason, it doesn't run from
the makefiles and I get an error.)
Thanks!
