In Line File Modifications: Search and Replace


grep -il "TEST" ${ENVIRON}/*.pde| while read pde
  do
    cat $pde | sed s/"TEST 3,1"/"TEST 3,0"/g | sed s/"TEST  3,1"/"TEST  3,0"/g > ${pde}.tmp
    if [ -f ${pde}.tmp ] ; then
      mv ${pde}.tmp $pde
    else
      echo "Failure writing ${pde}.tmp"
    fi
  done



here is an example of my code doing a search and replace for the current directory, I was hoping to learn a little more, has anyone got a better solution?

I am concerned as this is dangerous code, however quick and simple to create.
