Here is a hint:

xargs  -exec sed -e 's/blahOneBlahTwo/newOnenewTwo/g' 

You can use find to pass the pathnames to xargs, but it sounds
like it would be too great in length for a pipe.  So, check
if xargs will not recurse the subtree for you.

BTW, UUASC archive from 1-2 weeks ago had this issue, or similar.
