you have to play with word boundary. check your sed man/info page for more info. alternatively, the logic to do this is to iterate each old, check for "old" and when found, change it to "new".. so in bash, you can do something like this, assuming your words are in a file

Hello there,
Is there anyway to make the tar utility print the contents of the files inside it (not list the files, but rather their contents) sequentially from the command line?

fold
FOLD(1) BSD General Commands Manual FOLD(1)NAME
fold -- fold long lines for finite width output device
SYNOPSIS
fold [-bs] [-w width] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The fold utility is a filter which folds the contents of the specified files, or the standard input if no files are specified, breaking the
lines to have a maximum of 80 columns.
The options are as follows:
-b Count width in bytes rather than column positions.
-s Fold line after the last blank character within the first width column positions (or bytes).
-w width
Specify a line width to use instead of the default 80 columns. Width should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present, or the tabs
should be expanded using expand(1) before using fold.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of fold as described in environ(7).
SEE ALSO expand(1), fmt(1)STANDARDS
The fold utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
BUGS
If underlining is present it may be messed up by folding.
