You need 'find'. If that sequence or regexp is in the contents and not
the name of the file (not clear from your message) you'll also need
'grep'. Both have excelent man pages and you can get help here if you
don't understand something.

Ughh, tired, you want to remove some regexp from a lot of files. Boyd
