I need a program that will replace a word, lets call it "joe" with any word I tell it to, say "mike". The reason is because I've just creative a massive function that I need to have duplicated about 5 times, with very minor changes. I need a program that will scan the file and make theses changes accordingly. Is such a program available? I could justs make this program myself but perhaps it is not worth it (time wise). These functions in question are ~500 lines long.

That sounds like the change should become a parameter to the function, so you only have ONE copy of it to maintain in future.
I wonder what kind of editor you are using that doesn't have search and replace.
Anyway, if somehow in your circumstances this turns out to be a good idea to have five functions (I can't imagine what those circumstances could be) and you don't have search and replace (I mean, even vi has search and replace) then I guess you want sed. I guess.
one function compares two files for max values, the other compares for minimum values, so the ">" change, also some var names.
Cool, SciTE has it.
you can pass the comparison function to the function as well as the other parameters. Having to copy and paste code is a sign of poor design.
