The -i is doing the replacement in place so
The easiest thing is probably to use vi. Then write

the `g' will do each occurence, and the `c' will ask

This is a special device file, called a device node. The 'c' indicates that
it's a character type device (in this case, writing characters to /dev/null
makes them disappear forever, reading from /dev/null only returns End Of
