You can use a simple regular expression:

"[^"]*"

and replace by:

"dummytext"

Make sure the regex mode is enabled in the search and replace dialog.

The general opinion is that other tools are more suited for those  
tasks. For example, Transmit (www.panic.com) has a "remote edit"  
feature that works perfectly with TextMate (or any other editor). If  
you're looking for a cheap solution, check out free clients that have  
similar features, such as CyberDuck or Fugu.

Personally, I think TextMate is worth its price even without remote  
browsing. I have yet to see a text editor with *good* ftp/sftp  
support anyway. There's always something missing, something buggy,  
etc. I purchased Transmit and never looked back.
