grep find and replace

Language: C - Grep Find and Replace

To find and replace text in files using the grep command in C, you can use the following command:

grep -rl 'old_text' /path/to/directory | xargs sed -i 's/old_text/new_text/g'

This command uses grep to find all files containing 'old_text' in the specified directory, and then uses xargs and sed to replace 'old_text' with 'new_text' in those files.
