#!/bin/ksh For File in $ Do CP $file $file - Old Sed - e 'S/find/replace/g' $file Done

This script loops through command line arguments, making a backup copy of each file by appending ".old", and then uses sed to search and replace all instances of "find" with "replace" in each file, overwriting the original file with the modified content.
