[Lula] Command line search/replace question

Hi folks,

I'm sure this can be done at the command line level, so was wondering if
anyone can tell me how, or point me in the right direction.

in a dir on my drive I have a series of text files. I also have sub
directories that have text files in them and more sub directories etc
etc.

in most of the files is a text string "blahOneBlahTwo". I want to
replace it with the text string "newOnenewTwo" in EVERY case,
recursively through the entire directory and its subs... (maybe four
deep, and a total of 60 files.)

can anyone tell me how ?

thanks,

Richard
