Re: Find/Replace in multiple source members

I was looking into doing something in QShell, but I can't get it to
overwrite the original member. I have this command:

grep -l "Executive Plaza IV" * | xargs sed -e 's/Executive Plaza IV/10909
McCormick Rd/g'

This works fine, grep finds the source members in the current directory
that have our old address ("Executive Plaza IV") somewhere in the source.

My working directory is /qsys.lib/SOURCELIB.lib/SOURCEFILE.file

grep -l "Executive Plaza IV" *

Then the xargs, runs the sed command on each member which reads the source
and changes every occurrence of 'Executive Plaza IV' to '10909 McCormick
Rd', but it just outputs it to the screen. it appears that the -i flag in
the IBMi version of sed is not valid - it is supposed to overwrite the
original file, but I can't seem to figure out how to redirect the stdout
back into the original member name.

So almost....
