   Nedit kinda sorta does that.  It has regex find/replace one at a time   
   or globally.  It can also filter a selected block.  To find all   
   affected rows before applying the change, ^A to select all, alt-R to   
   grep for the regex (displays only found lines), ^Z to revert (ungrep).   
      
   That works unless you're deep enough into regex territory that the   
   nedit version and your local grep disagree on the regex syntax!   
      
   Alternative: apply the regex & save, then diff the file and its .bck.   
   Undo can back out changes prior to the last save (can cross savepoints,   
   if you will).   
      
   To run nedit in Windows you need cygwin or similar.  That wouldn't be my   
   first choice there.  On Windows I buckle up and keep a tall glass   
   filled with good, cold Microsoft Kool-aid.
