Powerful GUI replacement application for Mac?

What is the best dedicated tool for finding and replacing GUIs on a Mac? "Find and replace it!" It seems worthy, but they ridiculously disabled the replacement feature in the demo, so I can’t give her a real check before paying. Is there anything else comparable or better?

It seems that version 1.0 is search and replace! allows you to replace it in the trial version. Personnaly I like its preview feature and its scripting capabilities.

you don’t have to pay a dime for anything! If your OS has bash / sed / find / etc and other * nix tools, you can make your own script to find and replace! for example if you have sed

sed -i.bak 's/find/replace/g' *.txt

Huge busting, but Eclipse finds and replaces the dialogue pretty solidly. Supports regular expressions with excellent syntax support.

I was also going to recommend sed, if not for the gui requirement :)
