[thelist] Search & Replacer

[Jim Puls]

There's a good tool for this, it's called "perl".
Seriously, if all you need is regex search-and-replace with simple
wildcarding, running a Perl one-liner from a decent command-line
environment should do the trick.

Check the man page (or the perldoc) for the -p, -i, and -e options.
