Alternate Search and Replace Tool

I need to automatically search a piece of HTML code in hundreds of help topics. Unfortunately, since RoboHelp's "Multi-File Find and Replace" tool doesn't accept carriage returns, it won't accept the three-line string of HTML I need to replace.

Can anyone suggest a (hopefully free) third-party search-and-replace tool that won't break RoboHelp in some way? I'm a bit worried because I'll be pasting a ton of conditional text markers.

Hi, Adam,

Two find-and-replace tools that are often mentioned in these forums are FAR and BK ReplaceEM. FAR is shareware, but free to use for the first two months; BK ReplaceEM is freeware.
