Few of the time, we need to alter some particular text in multiple files, and opening and editing each file at a time is a killer. Here is a sweet simple command that uses the "Power of <code>PERL</code>" to make our life easier.
Command:-
<pre><code>perl -pi -w -e 's/facebook/worldofhacker/g;' /home/krokite/*.txt
</code></pre>What basically above command does is, It will find the word <code>facebook</code> in each "text/notepad" file under the directory "/home/krokite" and will replace that with <code>worldofhacker</code>.
