Help needed with shell script to search and replace a set of strings among the set of files

Hi,

I am looking for a shell script which serves the below purpose.
Please find below the algorithm for the same and any help on this would be highly appreciated.

1)set of strings need to be replaced among set of files(directory may contain different types of files)
2)It should search for the type of files for which replace must be done

Please find below the algorithm for the same and any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Code:
######
#below mapped texts must be replaced
######
SEARCH_N_REPLACE={
abc = test1
efg = test2
gfdg = test3
}
######
#directory may contain pdf/txt/jpg files but it should only consider the #mentioned files here {html,htm,css,js}. 
#######

SEARCH_IN_FILES= {html,htm,css,js}


######

sync.log contains file paths as below:
Code:
./testing/file.pdf
./sample.jpg
./example.html
./testcondition.css

######

Code:
foreach line in sync.log #line means each file path 
foreach ext SEARCH_IN_FILES #should search for extension type of file
if line.ext is ext #if matches the extension
foreach term SEARCH_N_REPLACE
searchterm=parse:SEARCH_N_REPLACE
replaceterm=parse:SEARCH_N_REPLACE
perl -pie 's/searchterm/replaceterm'
perl -pie 's/searchterm/replaceterm' line

Thanks in advance!!!
