Optional Background Information:
[ The author of a Java open source project I am using has changed the copyright notice in every file in the project. As a result, I can no longer diff between the older version of the project and the newer version, since every file is marked as different because of the new copyright notice. In order to do a diff with this new version of the project, I first need to remove the copyright notice from every file in the new project and the old project and then perform a new baseline diff from which to move forward. ]
Q: Is there a text editor on Windows that would find and remove this block of text from all of the source code files in the project:
