Fine and Replace text in a lot of files on Ubuntu Linux!
I used to use a Java application to accomplish this but there is this useful application on Linux which makes it easy to find and replace text content in a list of files! The name is KfileReplace.

You can also use grep to search through file listings from ls. And sed and awk are helpful in this task. Or learn how to do it in Perl if you have to do stuff like this a lot.
