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

[William Kyngesburye]

Looks like you got some response already, but on the GUI side on OSX,  
BBEdit's find and replace can search whole folders of files.  Their  
free TextWrangler also can.  Full GREP support in both, and you can  
filter files.

All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.
