NAME
replace - a string-replacement utility
SYNOPSIS
-
replace arguments
DESCRIPTION
The
replace
utility program changes strings in place in files or on the standard input.
Invoke
replace
in one of the following ways:
-
shell> replace from to [from to] ... -- file_name [file_name] ...
shell> replace from to [from to] ... < file_name
from
represents a string to look for and
to
represents its replacement. There can be one or more pairs of strings.
Use the
--
option to indicate where the string-replacement list ends and the file names begin. In this case, any file named on the command line is modified in place, so you may want to make a copy of the original before converting it.
replace
prints a message indicating which of the input files it actually modifies.
If the
--
option is not given,
replace
reads the standard input and writes to the standard output.
replace
uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first. It can be used to swap strings. For example, the following command swaps
a
and
b
in the given files,
file1
and
file2:
-
shell> replace a b b a -- file1 file2 ...
The
replace
program is used by
