Is there a freeware to change characters or whole words in files (mainly
..txt) through commands line ?

Thanks to all in advance.

Short answer: awk and sed

Long answer:
If you use Linux you can use the standard builtin commands "awk" and "sed". There is a
Cygwin version for Windows users too. And you probably won't need to download the whole
cygwin install for these. As long as you have the .dll's most cygwin commandline programs
run from a dos window. Maybe google can help here.
