This you can do from the command line, from a shell script, or you can put it in a perl script.
$1 is whatever you pass to the script.
Put this command in a file called replace and run it like this
#replace inputfile.txt
This searches the file $1, ($1 is what you pass to the replace script) it looks for the word 'This' and replaces in with 'I did it' and prints it to a new file called /tmp/newinputfile.txt.
perl -e 'while(<>){if(/This/){$_="I did it\n"} print "$_"}' $1 > /tmp/newiputfile.txt
Hope this helps

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts
SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]
sieveshell --help
DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.
The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.
OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user
The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.
-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm
The realm to attempt authentication in.
-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
