#  Here is where the heavy work gets done.

# -----------------------------------------------
sed -e "s/$old_pattern/$new_pattern/g" $file_name
# -----------------------------------------------

#  's' is, of course, the substitute command in sed,
#+ and /pattern/ invokes address matching.
#  The "g", or global flag causes substitution for *every*
#+ occurence of $old_pattern on each line, not just the first.
#  Read the literature on 'sed' for an in-depth explanation.

exit 0    # Successful invocation of the script returns 0.
