when you say BBCODE bit of *text*, do you really mean it's a text string that you can find and edit? Albeit, metric monkeytons of them, sure.
I ask, because I have an editor that can handle very, very large files. I've only bothered to try it on text files, not... other files. And I don't know what kind of files you're dealing with wrt the places where the offending "BBCODE bit of text" is.
The editor is at work and my brain is offline. If you're interested, indicate that and I'll dig up the editor / link info for you. The tool all by itself is impressive.
