*Simple example for you:* vaidik@altegammler:~/test$ echo "She sells sea shells on the sea shore." > test.txt vaidik@altegammler:~/test$ cat test.txt She sells sea shells on the sea shore. vaidik@altegammler:~/test$ sed 's/sea/SEA/g' test.txt She sells SEA shells on the SEA shore. vaidik@altegammler:~/test$ sed 's/sea/SEA/g' test_2.txt sed: can't read test_2.txt: No such file or directory vaidik@altegammler:~/test$ sed 's/sea/SEA/g' test.txt > test_2.txt vaidik@altegammler:~/test$ cat test_2.txt She sells SEA shells on the SEA shore. vaidik@altegammler:~/test$ rm test.txt vaidik@altegammler:~/test$ mv test_2.txt test.txt vaidik@altegammler:~/test$ I hope this would help you. Also, check this out http://sed.sourceforge.net/sed1line.txt. Besides all this, just Google about how to use sed, awk, grep, egrep, etc. Google regular expressions if you want to do complex text processing.
