Search and replace using perl!
Sunny Walia has a great tip for Search and Replace in a linux box.
For a while now I used to use SED but Sunny suggests using perl’s inplace option (-i) to speed things up. Let me tell you this is a great time saver!.
perl -w -i -p -e "s/search_text/replace_text/g" *.txt
