Free Search and Replace for Multiple Files with Linux

A SIMPLE search and replace for multiple files sample:
http://www.gabeanderson.com/life/archives/000392.php

This is in Linux, done with bash (I think).


And I quote:
for fl in *.php; do
  mv $fl $fl.old
  sed \'s/FINDSTRING/REPLACESTRING/g\' $fl.old > $fl
  # rm -f $fl.old
  # when uncommented, the above line erases original file.
done
