A the precious for loop, 

You can do a few things, lets say that you are using this file to get the
list,

for file in `cat list`
do
 sed s/sting_to_find/string_to_replace_it_with/g <$file >$file.tmp
 mv $file.tmp $file
done

Is there a better way to do this? Probally... Is there 75 other ways? You
bet however that is how I would do it.

Thanks
Ken

But I don't want to go among mad people,
Alice remarked.
Oh, you can't help that, said the Cat:
we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
How do you know I'm mad? said Alice.
You must be, said the Cat,
or you wouldn't have come here.
