Subject: [Tfug] Quick command line question... 

Folks, 

Say I've got a bunch of text files in a directory...all ending with 
.TXT...a dozen or so. 

I know that in some, a particular word isn't spelled right - say, 
"regurjitation". I want to do a command to search for that and 
replace it with "regurgitation" across all files where the bad one is 
found, and save all files to their original names. 

Any help appreciated :). 

Jim
