It is not sed, but this ought to work... perl -pi -e 's/Templates//sgi' /path_to_directory_containing files/*
You could also (recommended) have it create a backup file for every file edited (Google perl command line editing) or you could also find all the files containing the word templates and process only those.. e.g. perl -pi -e 's/Templates//sgi' `grep -l "Templates" /path_to_directory_containing files/*` Disclaimer - the above examples are just off the top of my head and have not been double-checked for accuracy, fitness for purpose, effectiveness, or anything else.
