How to replace words in a file

[semco]

In one of my files in my server I have to replace one word with another. How do i do this, cpanel had the tool to do this. In directadmin i don't see it, the file is to big and that word is multiple places i don't want to miss any words because that is important for setting of installation.


thanks

DirectAdmin is a HostingPanel, not text editor.

perl -pi -e 's/^OrigWord/ChangedWord/' filename

Don't understand code above?
Then download file fo you computer and use ANY text editor.

DirectAdmin is a HostingPanel, not text editor.

Also Cpanel is a Hosting Panel and they support text editor

Is good to have extra tools around competitions

Thanks.
