[OS X TeX] [OT] TextWrangler multiple file replace

Sorry this is only vaguely on topic. I have a bunch of text files
that I would like to do a global replace of the &,$, % that need to
be escaped in LaTeX. If open one of the files, and do the following
search using grep:
[&$%]
replace with
\\\&
It correctly finds instances of these characters and does the correct
replacement.
However, if I try the same search using the multi-file search, (also
using grep) it returns with "The pattern [&$%] was not found.", yet I
know there are instances in the files (since I can do the same search
on any single file.)
Can someone confirm this behaviour and/or tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Alan
