in thread One-line shell script for find and replace

Eg:
1. home/xyz.txt
2. home/contacts/abc.txt
3. home/contacts/addresses/pqr.txt

Within the 'home' directory I need to find and replace a particular word in all text files (xyz.txt, abc.txt, pqr.txt)

    1. How does this comment apply to the node you're replying to?
    2. How do the replies you already got fail to answer your question?
