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 msql2mysql. See msql2mysql(1).

· -v
