Hi Mac users!

Is there a way to automatically add and/or remove keywords from mltiple files?

First I would like to remove all the keywords from many of my files and then assign common keywords to selected files!
One can do it manually, one by one, but that would take a huge amount of time!
Is there any automatic way to do it? Perhaps with a specific application?

Thanks for your help!

Check out sed - http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html

Do you mean to the content of the files or to the filenames or to the e.g. Spotlight information?

If it is either of the latter two, you can do it very easily using an Automator created application or Finder action.
