sed 's/SEARCH_TEXT/REPLACE_TEXT/g' FILENAME > OUTFILE
SEARCH_TEXT is the text to search in filename
REPLACE TEXT is the string to be put in place of SEARCH_TEXT
FILENAME is the file to be searched
OUTFILE is the file where the output

Sample

sed 's/ORDER/VANTIVE_ORDER/g' kwatogtest.sql > kwatogsed.log
