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 [file] ...
          shell> replace from to [from to] ... < file

       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 filenames 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).

       replace supports the following options:

       o  -?, -I

          Display a help message and exit.

       o  -# debug_options

          Write a debugging log. The debug_options string often is
          'd:t:o,file_name'.

       o  -s

          Silent mode. Print less information what the program does.

       o  -v

          Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.

       o  -V

          Display version information and exit.
