Well, if that is what he wanted; then, suggest one of these:

Mx query-replace

and/or

Mx query-replace-regexp

--EMACS has the best/fastest regexp engine available for doing an

Mx query-replace-regexp

Because ELISP has a lot of functions optimized for editing files,
using multiple buffers, windows, etc.

The regexp engine is optimized for "first-character-matching"; i.e.
quickly finding and highlighting and replacing characters in a
buffer--faster than anything else, last time I checked.

Suggest using QEMACS if you want to edit multigigabyte files.

Also, to use an occur buffer (which you seem to refer to below) all
you would do there would be:

Mx occur

Then go to the *Occur* buffer where it shows the matching regexp in
highlighted text and then LeftMouse on the line (anywhere on the line)
and the line will pop up in the other window.

Also, there is a way to edit every file in the set of a regexp in a
directory tree (a
top-level directory and all of its subdirectories) that contains a
regexp--one replacement at a time:


** "Occur mode changes:

*** The new command `multi-occur' is just like `occur', except it can
search multiple buffers.  There is also a new command
`multi-occur-in-matching-buffers' which allows you to specify the
buffers to search by their filenames or buffer names.  Internally,
Occur mode has been rewritten, and now uses font-lock, among other
changes."

So you could do something like "emacs blahfiles*" and then:

Mx multi-occur

and/or

Mx multi-occur-in-matching-buffers
