Default What is the Best Mass Search & Replace CLI command?
Hello Amiga.Organisms

What do u guys use to do mass search & replace of strings in text files?

I used stringer for a while but have now found that it has many terrible bugs and the coder's email bounces so I can't report the bugs to him.

There are many times when I must, for example, rename every
occurrence of a variable in every source file that it is found in.

This means searching/replacing thru megabytes of text in a thousand files. Which cli proggy do u recommend?
