hi, I'm using 3.8, and I hate to bother, but I have spent two days on the 
net trying to find the answer to this problem.

I am using 'find' to batch file a sed search and replace.  Sed, of course, 
outputs to stdout, the problem I am having is finding the correct syntax so 
that I can change the extension of the input file to create the new output 
file.  For example:

Find . -name "*.htm" -exec 'sed s/old/new/' > '{}'.new

quoted text
>From what I've read, I should be able to use the '{}' as a global replace; 
so if the input file happens to be smith.htm, then '{}' would be smith.htm 
and the idea is that the output filename for the sed command would create a 
new output file called smith.htm.new.

this of course isn't working.

any help please? thanks.
