Batch replace copyright comment in XCode

I've been working on an iOS project for some time now, creating hundreds of source files, and now that's it's good and done, I realize something sad : I edit the copyright file template before getting to work, and all of my files have this lame format :

//
//  MyClass.h
//
//  Created by Redwarp on 3/25/13.
//  Copyright (c) 2013 Redwarp. All rights reserved.
//

And that's not cool ! I would like to replace it with something more like that :

Anyway. I could probably write a script, that searches all my files and replace the first "//" lines with a better comment, but I'm sure there is a tool out there that does that perfectly.

Except : I can't find that tool anywhere.

Would anyone know of such a tool ? (Or might it be that I'm a fool ?)

I ended up using the script I found here : http://gergap.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/howto-recursively-replace-file-headers-of-source-files/

Does exactly the job I wanted to do, and spared me the burden of doing it myself.
