@Andrei tell me if find . -name "*.php" -exec sed -i '' -f replace.sed '{}' \; works (revised answer)?

@Pandya that command does not work. It gives the error Find: illegal option -n. I made it work however with the following command: find test -iname "*.php" -exec sed -i '' -f test/replace.sed '{}' \; where test is the folder containing the files.

sed has a y command for transliteration.

On OS/X the argument to -i is required.

@Pandya, OS X uses BSD sed. You have to provide an extension to the -i option or it won't work. I recommend -i .bak.

@Andrei see revised post. Note that -i option with sed will replace the old files

Isn't this last s (-e 's/ș/s') expression incomplete?
