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.
