Your new requirement is not clear. If what Scrutinizer and rdrtx1 suggested don't work for you, we need more information... Do you only want to change a line if that line contains the keyword? Or do you want to change any line in the file if the keyword appears on any line in the file?
Are there any special characters (like forward slashes, question marks, single quotes, double quotes, vertical bars, or parentheses) in the keyword like there are in both the search string and the replacement string?
