Read the original article Hit count: 182

What's the command line equivalent of: For every file that contains "AAA" within its contents, find "BBB" and replace it with "CCC"

Thus, the command would match and replace BBB in a file:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
AAA
Hello world!
BBB    
</body>
</html>

But Not in a file:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
Don't match me!
BBB    
</body>
</html>

Thanks in advance!
