Hi there, If I want to automagically replace text in a file, I can use `sed`. I don't believe that `sed` can be invoked in such a way to change the file in place, therefore two commands are necessary:
$ sed 's/Project Gutenberg/Wordsworth Classics/' foo > bar $ mv bar foo $ Using `grep` I can search *recursively* through directories to find the text I'm looking for. EG: `grep -R Gutenberg ~` I would like to find every instance of $foo in a directory hierarchy and replace it with $bar. Is there any tool that will combine all these operations for me? If not, what is the best way to string together grep and sed so that they'll do what I want? Many thanks for reading, Stroller.
