Guys, Doesn't awk also provide this feature? Not seen strings before, but have used awk. Just my penny's worth.

I *think* it is used along with the find command= =3D IIRC. What ever you use IMHO it will be really resource intensive because the = =3D script / command etc. will have to go through all the files of your system searching and = =3D then possibly replacing the string with another. Just out of interest what are your keywords? Are the files going to be a= =3D ny specific type?
