For all files in the current directory, change some text

This script iterates all files in the current directory changing a string to another string in each file. Just make sure the TEXT-TO-BE-CHANGED does not contains pound signs (#).

Hope it saves someone some time.


Code
#!/bin/bash

for file in *
    do

        sed 's#TEXT-TO-BE-CHANGED#TEXT-TO-CHANGE-TO#g' <$file >$file.temp
        rm -f $file
        mv $file.temp $file

    done
