Perl inline replacement on Windows
Replacing some string in multiple files is one pretty feature of Perl. Just execute
perl -p -i -e 's/SEARCH/REPLACE/g' file.txt
and all SEARCH in file.txt transforms to REPLACE. On Windows there's a catch: this does not work with single quotes. So to get it working use
perl -p -i -e "s/SEARCH/REPLACE/g" file.txt
