I have a text file: oldfile.txt
It has a lot of stuff I want to do multiple find and replace within.
I have a control file: controlfile.txt
In the control file, is a 2 column list of the "find" and the "replace"
i.e.
This That
Yay Nay
Ying Yang
etc..
I would like to run this control file on the oldfile so that all the substitutions are made within the oldfile. I can use sed -f, and run it as 10,000 sed commands (I don't know if it will die on me or not though)
I'm hoping however, there's a program to do this a bit more elegantly.

xwcdrawtext
XwcDrawText() XwcDrawText()
Name
XwcDrawText - draw internationalized wide-character text using multiple font sets.
Synopsis
void XwcDrawText(display, drawable, gc, x, y, items, nitems)
Display *display;
Drawable drawable;
GC gc;
int x, y;
XwcTextItem *items;
int nitems;
Arguments
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
drawable Specifies the drawable.
gc Specifies the graphics context.
x, y Specifies the starting position and baseline of the text, relative to the origin of the specified drawable.
items Specifies an array of text items.
nitems Specifies the number of text items in the array.
Availability
Release 5 and later.
Description
XwcDrawText() allows complex spacing and font set shifts between wide-character text strings. Each text item is processed in turn, with
the origin of a text element advanced in the primary draw direction by the escapement of the previous text item. A text item delta speci-
fies an additional escapement of the text item drawing origin in the primary draw direction. A font_set member other than None in an item
causes the font set to be used for this and subsequent text items in the items list. Leading text items with font_set member set to None
will not be drawn.
XwcDrawText() does not perform any context-dependent rendering between text segments. Clients may compute the drawing metrics by passing
each text segment to XwcTextExtents() or XmbTextPerCharExtents(). When the XFontSet has missing charsets, each unavailable character is
drawn with the default string returned by XCreateFontSet(). The behavior for an invalid codepoint is undefined.
XwcDrawText() draws with fonts from the font sets of the items list rather than the font of the GC. For this reason, it may modify the
font value of the GC. Except for the font, it uses the same GC components as its pre-X11R5 analog XDrawText().
Structures
The XwcTextItem structure contains:
typedef struct {
wchar_t *chars; /* pointer to wide char string */
int nchars; /* number of wide characters */
int delta; /* pixel delta between strings */
XFontSet font_set; /* fonts, None means don't change */
} XwcTextItem;
