find and replace

Hi,

There are some "n" files in a directory which contains comman string.A command to find and replace the string in all the files without looping.

like if i am in a directory :

# find ./ -name ".txt" | xargs sed -e 's/test/tst'
Upto here is performed correctly and i want to redirect this to the same files.( ie ".txt" replcace )

( As sed replaces but does modify the files so need to redirect to the same files )

Thanks
