Quick and dirty Perl solution, you should:
  1. enable strict and warnings
  2. check for regex special characters in $ARGV[0] and escape them
  3. use File::Temp rather than the lazy option below which would clobber a file called temp.dat in the current directory

Code:
perl -e '@filenames=glob("./*.txt");
for $filename (@filenames){
    open($file ,"<",$filename);
    open ($temp,">","temp.dat");
    while(<$file>){
        $_=~s/$ARGV[0]//g;
        print $temp $_;
    }
    close $file;
    close $temp;
    rename "temp.dat", $filename;
}' %

maxdb_stmt_errno - Returns the error code for the most recent statement call

       Procedural style

SYNOPSIS
int maxdb_stmt_errno (resource $stmt) DESCRIPTION
Object oriented style int$maxdb_stmt->errno () For the statement specified by stmt, maxdb_stmt_errno(3) returns the error code for the most recently invoked statement function that can succeed or fail. Note For possible error codes see documentation of SQLDBC: http://maxdb.sap.com/documentation/. RETURN VALUES
An error code value. Zero means no error occurred. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Object oriented style <?php /* Open a connection */ $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } $maxdb->query("CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city"); $maxdb->query("INSERT INTO temp.mycity SELECT * FROM hotel.city"); $query = "SELECT name, zip FROM temp.mycity ORDER BY name"; if ($stmt = $maxdb->prepare($query)) { /* drop table */ $maxdb->query("DROP TABLE temp.mycity"); /* execute query */ $stmt->execute(); printf("Error: %d. ", $stmt->errno); /* close statement */ $stmt->close(); } /* close connection */ $maxdb->close(); ?> Example #2 Procedural style <?php /* Open a connection */ $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } maxdb_query($link, "CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city"); maxdb_query($link, "INSERT INTO temp.mycity SELECT * FROM hotel.city"); $query = "SELECT name, zip FROM temp.mycity ORDER BY name"; if ($stmt = maxdb_prepare($link, $query)) { /* drop table */ maxdb_query($link, "DROP TABLE temp.mycity"); /* execute query */ maxdb_stmt_execute($stmt); printf("Error: %d. ", maxdb_stmt_errno($stmt)); /* close statement */ maxdb_stmt_close($stmt); } /* close connection */ maxdb_close($link); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Warning: maxdb_stmt_execute(): -4004 POS(23) Unknown table name:MYCITY [42000] <...> Error: -4004.
