My script to replace strings in ASCII files

[Kristian Vaaf]

Hello!

Just curious, what do I need to do to be able to execute this script like:

$ text-replace old_string new_string

I find it a bit inconvenient having to edit the script for every thing I need to replace.

Thanks,
Kristian

for file in `find . -type f ! -name ".*"`; do

	if [ "`file -b "$file" | grep text`" != "" ]; then

		sed -i '' "s/old/new/g" "$file"

		echo "$file: Done"

	fi

done
