[Asterisk-Users] How to quickly replace ', ' with '|' in dialplans?

[Chris Coulthurst]

There is a perl script out there called 'sarep' which is short for
search-and-replace that I use quite frequently for such things.

Check it out at this URL:
http://tarp.worldserve.net/software/sarep.html

You can type something like:
# sarep 'Sip/203' 'Zap/2r2' /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf

All Sip/203s become Zap/2r2s.
