Replace something in every HTML file (alternative to sed)

replaceInFiles.txt

### Perform a search and replace from the commandline
 
$ vim -c '%s`search`replace`g' -c 'wq' *.html
 
### Alternatively, load all your files into vim and use bufdo. Allows you to tweak your search pattern before running the replacement:
 
$ vim *.html
 
  /search
  :bufdo %s``replace`g
  :wall
 
### This seems easier than using sed:
 
$ find . -name '*.html' | xargs sed -i 's`search`replace`g'
