find-and-replace

I'm looking for a search and replace tool that takes a list of rules and either a file (or directory) and runs those rules on the files. I have a bunch of different things that need to be changed in many files, and I'd like to be able to run all the rules in one shot.

I was hoping I could put the rules separate file, and use the same set of rules over and over again.

Does such a tool exist?
