I stink at regular expressions, but can always find what I need to get a

job done using google :-)

Don't use vi (unless you figure out how to do it in vi).
I won't be much help there.

in this case sed is your friend.

It's a breeze to use too.

Here's what it looks like:  sed -e "s/text_to_find/text_to_replace/g"
inputfile > outputfile
and yup you can use the same name for both files to simply update the
file.


You can do the same thing in vi:

:1,$s/text_to_find/text_to_replace/g

but sed works too.


Make sure you back it up first of course.

Here's a link with some more examples using sed:

Hope this helps!
