New User - How do I "save as"

[GeneinTO]

I am a web designer and have a new 24" iMac, first mac product. I enjoy the machine but one of the sites I support requires me to maintain a collection of 16000 txt files. I regularly have to updates 10-20 of these files at a time that have identical text. I generally open one, make the changes to the text and "save as" to all the correct file names.

How do I do this in mac os X?

Cheers

It's under File. Right below Save, usually.

You can also right click to bring up a menu. If you have a mighty mouse go into System preferences > mouse and turn right clicking on (I think its off by default).

Or you can control + click which is the same as right clicking.

EDIT: I've just realised you are not saving stuff off the web. You are infact editing files so ignore what i said. Doh!

You might want to look into using Automator to see if you can automate that process a little so its not so repetitive.

I'm pretty sure that's easy enough and he is asking how to batch rename multiple files, not how to save. (?)

I am not 100% sure myself but I do know there is a way. This thread might help. Or maybe this.

seriously? OK, here I thought everyone was underestimating your question and here I was overthinking it.

You can also use command + s for save or shift + command + s for save as.

I read it the same way. So you're not alone.
