How to safely search/replace only text that end-user sees?

Hi all. Is there a way to do a safe search and replace action, across an entire project, text that the user sees with a browser, and NOT any other text, like what occurs in file names, paths, style names, attributes, CSS, etc.

My guess is that selecting the option Exclude HTML Tags would not be sufficient, and that a regular expression might be in order.

Thx in advance.

Any paths would be in an HTML tag so in theory you should be OK. However there's too much at risk with ANY search and replace to do it without first creating a backup copy of your project. Why not do that and try it?
