I have multiple large files (one example is 5.4 MB). It is essentially a data
dump from a database--I have no control over the database or the format ofe
dump.

What do people use for multi-file/ multi-directory search and replace?
I use something like this:

However, I would also like to see which files actually got changed.

Is there a tool to do a search-and-replace from the command line?
Something along the lines of:
replace "string one" "string foo" files-to-process
I find it a bit of a hassle to keep 100+ files open just to change an
".html" to an ".htm." Note however
perl is designed for this kind of thing.
use it carefully, though--AFTER you back everything up!
#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Find;
see 'man File::Find' (or perldoc 'File::Find') for the

Hi,
Yes there are quite a few ways to do that, another example:
GLOBAL REPLACE in the files:
awk '{gsub("call", "mall", $0); print > FILENAME}' *.kumac
change call to mall in all *.kumac files
Word of CAUTION: If you process really big files you may run into trouble,
that only part of your file
sed was made for that. there are lots of other tools
that are more programming-oriented (awk, perl, python...);
sed is simple and a bit cryptic but good to get to know.
