I've a similar question: How do I do a search and replace operation on
files? I'm sure I've read/been told that you use grep to do this, but I
can't find any mention when I do man grep.

I've got about 200 HTML files which contain a double-width underline
(probably in shift-jis) in an IMG tag and it should be a single-width
underline.

Sigh. Why do I keep inheriting other peoples mistakes? I've got enough of
my own to deal with...
