find and replace syntax

I know I've asked this once before quite a while ago and got a good 
response, however I wasnt able to find it in the archives and the syntax 
help on the internet didnt get me too far:p, so heres what I'm doing:

I'm changing to infinite bits using runters infinite bits snippet, and last 
time, in order to save much time and effort I used a python search/replace 
file. I was given a one liner from someone on this list tho and i tweaked 
around with it just a touch, unfortunately I don't really know how I'd go 
about doing it again...

so here's what it did, it would take a string such as:
IS_SET( ch->act, ACT_AGGRESSIVE );
IS_SET (ch->act, ACT_AGGRESSIVE );
IS_SET(victim->act,ACT_AGGRESSIVE);

and would replace it with one that would be formatted like this(or 
victim/wch/whatever in spot of ch):
is_set( &ch->act, ACT_AGGRESSIVE );


i used three little lines(REMOVE_BIT,SET_BIT,IS_SET), put'em in a file and 
ran the file, replacing act with extra_flags, affected_by, etc and it saved 
me hours of tedious manual search/replace so if anyone could help me out 
here id be much obliged.
