file, pass it through sed and save it in a temporary file. As you can't read and
edit a file at the same time. When the 'cat' has finished the tmp file over
writes ( "mv {}.tmp {}" )the original, and find moves onto the next file.The last '\;' is to tell find to stop '-exec'ing the exec. :) . Clear as mud.
