REPLACE(1)						      General Commands Manual							REPLACE(1)

NAME

       replace	-  A utility program that is used by msql2mysql, but that has more general applicability as well. replace changes strings in place
       in files or on the standard input. Uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first. Can be used to swap strings.

USAGE

       replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... -- [files]

       or

       replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... < fromfile > tofile

SYNOPSIS

       replace [-?|-I] [-s] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       replace

       -?|-I  info

       -s     silent

       -v     verbose

EXTRA INFO

       Special characters in from string:

       ^     Match start of line.

       $     Match end of line.
