[GRASS-dev] batch search and replace from command line?

[Michael Barton]

I'm betting there is a Unix command to do a batch search and replace  
of one string with another in all text files in a directory.

But I don't know what it is.

I'm trying to follow Glynn's advice to create a library of common  
TclTk procedures that can be called without calling another instance  
of gm.tcl (i.e., without launching another GIS Manager window).

These procedures (e.g., Gm::errmsg) get called a LOT in many modules.  
I'd like a way of replacing every occurance of "Gm::errmsg" with  
"GmLib::errmsg" in all modules in the TclTk GUI directory.

Can someone tell me if this is possible and, if so, how to do it?

Thanks
Michael
