Use a utility called M4. This is a very powerful macro processor that will 
scan your input for ANY string you define and replace it with ANY other 
string you define. It is VERY easy to do simple things so you only need to 
learn the bare minimum to start using it AND if you need to do something 
complex you can learn a bit more about M4 (until you get to the 
appropriate level) so that you don't need to use other tools :-)
