I thought that many text editors let you perform a search/replace on all
files in a specified directory? jEdit offers PCRE regexes to do this,
as well as all subdirectories, and doesn't open up the files into a
buffer in order to do so (so yes, you should be able to perform a search
on a few hundred files at a time without running out of memory).
