replace - A utility program that is used by msql2mysql,
but that has more general applicability as well.
replace changes strings in place in files or on
the standard input. Uses a finite state machine to
match longer strings first. Can be used to
swap strings.
USAGE
replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... -- [files]
or
replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... < fromfile > tofile
SYNOPSIS
replace [-?|-I] [-s] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
replace
-?|-I info
-s silent
-v verbose
EXTRA INFO
Special characters in from string:
\^ Match start of line.
\$ Match end of line.
\b Match space-character, start of line or end of
line. For a end \b the next replace starts locking
at the end space-character. A \b alone in a string
matches only a space-character.
EXAMPLE

shell> replace a b b a -- file1 file2 ...
