Thought the greater SLUG list would be slightly interested as well.
Apologies to people being annoyed by me again :-)

I want to replace every instance of 'gzip' occuring in a source tree with
bzip2. This is how I did it:
for file in `grep -rl gzip *`
do cp $file $file.old
sed s/gzip/bzip2/ < $file.old > $file
done
But I'm sure there's a shorter solution. Suggestions?
