Linux - automatic replace a string with a new one in multiple files

I did have to do a lots of modification in almost 600 files, and i did it using Linux SED:

grep -ilr ‘UA-1234567-1′ * | xargs -i@ sed -i ’s/UA-1234567-1/UA-9876543-2/g’ @

what it really does is replace the string UA-1234567-1 with UA-9876543-2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: Lucid Lynx

Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, is pinning its hopes of OEM acceptance on the Lucid Lynx. We’ve put the screws to this new Long Term Support (LTS) release, comparing it to Canonical’s previous LTS release, 8.04 Hardy Heron, to look for progress.

It has been a little over two weeks since the final code for Ubuntu 10.04, codenamed Lucid Lynx hit the Internet. Last time, I had to wait a month before getting into 9.10, due to heinous errors, crippling bugs, and excruciatingly slow software repositories. Thankfully, none of this occurred with 10.04.
