one liner needed for searh and replace

Hi guys,

I need a quick oneliner - either perl or bash to search all files in the current directory for the expression "fred_flintstone" and replace it with "barny_rubble". I wrote a perl script to do this a few weeks ago, but it's at home on my laptop.. and I'm up to /here/ right now at work !



help would be much appreciated.

thanks
christo

done

$ perl -pi -e 's/fred_flintstone/barny_rubble/' *

seems to do the job

Christo

it would be interesting, though, to see if this is doable in bash as a one liner from the command line !
