interactive multi-file search and replace

I need to do some searching and replacing in about 10 latex files.
Does anyone have an existing script that does this on an interactive
basis? I would like to show each match and ask whether or not it
should be replaced.

This seems like a fairly common task and I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

Most people probably use something like vim rather than re-inventing the
wheel themselves.
