From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

file title is an option present on mkvtoolnix (92.0 eyeglow on debian 12.11)

I could single open every file, remove the file title and save, but that's gonna take ages. almost 100 files.

Emacs Dired would be my goto here, though it's cumbersome if you dont know the bindings.

kill-rectangle and multiple-cursors within Dired are immensely useful

Edit: Oh, I just understood you want to mass modify the files themselves. In which case wgrep is useful here within Emacs, for modifying multiple buffers.

It essentially runs a grep command on a directory, collates all the results in a single buffer, lets you modify that buffer for all files, and then save in one go
