This would run ecqually cool on e.g. BeOS. :-)
But what about something like the following for win32?
for /r %i in (*.c) do type %i | sed <replacement expression> | %i.tmp &
del %i & ren %i.tmp %i
Note that the "&" isn't to remove the process from the current TTY, it's
more like ";" for a *nix shell.
It isn't bash, and it is a little longer, but it does actually do the job.
Not that I endorse use of M$, just to display that it can be done. :-)
