bash script to change texts in a list of files
I need to write a scrpt to change some text for all files stored under a particular directory and sub-directories. The script will read a file (replace.txt) and change the context of each file based on it. The file will have the following format :
replace.txt
/eng /chi
engwrd chiwrd
/oci/pass /bci/pass
Is it possible to archieve this through a bash script ?
