HOW TO USE replace_string
-------------------------
see http://www.unixgods.org/~tilo/replace_string/ for thorough
documentation and examples
-------------------------

make a <replacements.txt> file for your replacement commands as follows:

/home/scdemarc> cat replacements.txt 
s/chris/demarco/g
s/cindy/coggins/g

./replace_string.txt -nq -S replacements.txt -f `find <mydir> -type f`

OR

./replace_string.txt -nq -S replacements.txt -f `find <mydir1> <mydir2> -type f`

this will run the replacement commands in <replacements.txt> recursively
on all files and subdirectories in directory <mydir>



to do non-recursive replacement on specified files, make the
<replacement.txt> file as described above. Then make a second file
<inputfiles.txt> which lists the files you want to change as follows:


/home/scdemarc> cat inputfiles.txt 
test1.txt
test2.txt

./replace_string.txt -nq -S replacements.txt -F inputfiles.txt
