Need search & replace help dreamweaver 2006 (complicated question)

Question

Hello:
if somebody could help with this I'd really appreciate it
....I have a site with tons of two word dir names word1_word2 a few are 3 word - there are a few images with this also (same as the dir names)
I generate the site with the dir names in the metatage (discription and keywords) and at various places in the pages
after building it I search and replace _ to space with dreamweaver (option not in any tag) so this kills the _ where ever it's visable but leaves it in img src and alt tags ect but most important leaves in metas where it looks like heck and I don't wan't it
I've tired Everything in dreamweaver to search it out of metas and can't - I can live with it in alt img ect but rather not
basic question"
(is there a regex to leave _ only in hrefs & css styles and replace with space Everywhere else - if not remove in all visable text & metatags)
beter yet can I do this with options in dreamweaver search & replace - 2 steps is ok - I killed the in visable text - I could live with them in alt & link titles but not in metatags (description and keywords)
please Keep in mind I need it in href's (not the visable text though)
thanks,
MEF

Just so I get this straight,  you want to change this:
http://example.com/Annette_O_Toole/index.html
to this:
http://example.com/Annette O Toole/index.html
Using spaces instead of underscores?  That is not a good thing.  You should  never use spaces or special characters in folder or filenames.  Ok?
I hope this answers your question.  If not, post back with an example of what you're trying to change.
