NAME
 gsar - General Search And Replace utility
SYNOPSIS
 gsar [options] [infile(s)] [outfile]
DESCRIPTION
 gsar (General Search And Replace) is a utility for search-
 ing for and --- optionally --- replacing strings in both
 text and binary files. The search and replace strings can
 contain all kinds of characters (0--255), i.e. Ctrl char-
 acters and extended ASCII as well.
gsar -scygwinb19.dll *.[EeDd][XxLl][EeLl]
to make sure of only 1 replace
gsar -iscygwinb19.dll *.[EeDd][XxLl][EeLl] -rcygwin1.dll000円000円 -o
This should work but as always backups are a must!!
