Finding/replacing text and redirection help
Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
What command would rename "sequentialInsert", in
~cs252/Assignments/commandsAsst/project/arrayops.h, to
"orderedInsertion" in ~/UnixCourse/commandsAsst/arrayops.h?



2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
I think I need to use the grep, find, and redirection operators, but I am not sure


3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
grep 'sequentialInsert' ~cs252/Assignments/commandsAsst/project/arrayops.h > 'orderedInsertion' ~.UnixCourse/commandsAsst/arrayops.h

drop_text_search_template

DROP TEXT SEARCH 
TEMPLATE(7)					   SQL Commands 				      DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE(7)

NAME

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE - remove a text search template

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE drops an existing text search template. You must be a superuser to use this command.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	      Do not throw an error if the text search template does not exist.  A notice is issued in this case.

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search template.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search template.

       RESTRICT
	      Refuse to drop the text search template if any objects depend on it.  This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the text search template thesaurus:

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE thesaurus;

       This command will not succeed if there are any existing text search dictionaries that use the template. Add CASCADE to drop such dictionar-
       ies along with the template.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE statement in the SQL standard.
