NAME
    replace - A utility program that is used by msql2mysql, but that has
    more general applicability as well. replace changes strings in place in
    files or on the standard input. Uses a finite state machine to match
    longer strings first. Can be used to swap strings.

USAGE
    replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... -- [files]

    or

    replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... < fromfile > tofile

SYNOPSIS
    replace [-?|-I] [-s] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
    replace

    -?|-I info

    -s   silent

    -v   verbose

EXTRA INFO
    Special characters in from string:

    \^   Match start of line.

    \$   Match end of line.

    \b   Match space-character, start of line or end of line. For a end
    \b the next replace starts locking at the end space-character. A
    \b alone in a string matches only a space-character.

    shell> replace a b b a -- file1 file2 ...
