\fIfrom\fR

represents a string to look for and

\fIto\fR

represents its replacement\&. There can be one or more pairs of strings\&.

.PP

Use the

\fB\-\-\fR

option to indicate where the string\-replacement list ends and the file names begin\&. In this case, any file named on the command line is modified in place, so you may want to make a copy of the original before converting it\&.

\fIreplace\fR

prints a message indicating which of the input files it actually modifies\&.

.PP

If the

\fB\-\-\fR

option is not given,

\fBreplace\fR

reads the standard input and writes to the standard output\&.

.PP

\fBreplace\fR

uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first\&. It can be used to swap strings\&. For example, the following command swaps

and

in the given files,

file1

and

file2:

.sp

.if n \{\

.RS 4

.nf
