Try:
bsed 's/+0100/-0500/g' the-log-files...
You can get bsed here:
http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/bsed
It's essentially a wrapper for sed which tries hard to be careful, and
preserves permissions and hardlinks (which the "sed file >foo; mv foo
file" approaches don't, because they destroy the original and replace
it).
I find it _very_ handy.
