Get a copy of TextWrangler and install it (it is no cost software). 
TeXShop and iTeXMac also have regex available in their search panels, 
but it may be a slightly different variant, and TextWrangler uses the 
same syntax as BBEdit, and for that I'm sure how things work. You may 
try TeXShop in 'pcre' mode, but be careful.

Search for:
     \\textbf{(.+?)}\\index{.+?}

Replace with:
     \\NewTerm{\01}

The TextWrangler help contains an explanation of what you're doing 
here, I suggest you read it.
