What I want:
Take file.txt and *strip* out foo and replace with bar, *but* I
don't want to redirect to a tmp file or anything: I would like one
command.
Perl:
1. perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/g' file.txt
SED, for example:
1. sed 's/foo/bar/g' file.txt file.txt.tmp
2. mv file.txt.tmp file.txt
So perl
Just use vi and use the %s/foo/bar/g then save it unless you don't want
to do it interactively, then I'd use a tmp file, just as easy.

Marco,
Using vi you can
vi file.txt -w scriptfile
and any commands you enter in the editor will automatically be recorded
and placed in the file scriptfile. (Just enter your global
replacement command and exit.)
Now, on any file that you want to execute this script file against,
