trag[1] lets you select the lines you want and then run a command over
those lines.

The above example would run :s over the whole buffer. If this is what
you want, you could retrieve the lists with getqflist() or
getloclist(). You could then collect a list of files from the entries
in that list and then work on that list of files. I don't know of any
vim command that gives the list of files in the qfl/loclist right
away.

BTW, you should probably add matches for word boundaries to your
regexp (\<define\>) in order not to replace defineFoo with defFoo.
