Description:
I have an output file of bibliographic records, and I want to change all cases of
[offprint]
to
$$g(offprint)
How can I?
for example
ABC 0000475 1001 L $$aByrd, Keith E. [offprint]
to
ABC 0000475 1001 L $$aByrd, Keith E. $$g(offprint)

Resolution:
You may do as follows, where the file is called "filename":
perl -pi.bck -e 's/\[offprint\]/\$\$g(offprint)/g' filename
It will make the change and also save a copy of the oprinal file with suffix bck. See below:
ABC-M330>>more filename
ABC 0000475 1001 L $$aByrd, Keith E. [offprint]
ABC-M330>>perl -pi.bck -e 's/\[offprint\]/\$\$g(offprint)/g' filename
ABC-M330>>ls -lrt filename*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 m325 aleph 49 Jul 21 10:05 filename.bck
-rw-rw-r-- 1 m325 aleph 52 Jul 21 10:06 filename
ABC-M330>>diff filename filename.bck
