Find and replace text in a 47GB large file [closed]
Sed (stream editor for filtering and transforming text) is your friend.
sed -i 's/old text/new text/g' file
Sed performs text transformations in a single pass.
I use FART - Find And Replace Text by Lionello Lunesu.
It works very well on Windows Seven x64.
You can find and replace the text using this command:
fart -c big_filename.txt "find_this_text" "replace_to_this"
