sed. And a bit of shell script. For instance (off the top of my head,
so no guarantees):
for i in $file_list; do \
mv $i $i~; \
sed -e "s/old/new/g" < $i~ > $i; \
done
And that'll even leave the old version of the file with a ~ extension.
$file_list can be generated with something along the lines of:
$file_list=`find /etc -type f`
That'd give you a list of all the files in /etc.
Let me guess - you're trying to change you're domain name? :)
