Arguments

infile

Path to input file

outfile

Path to output file (must be different)

Details

This is a very limited interface and only meant for internal use.

It will replace all occurances of a string with another string. It may do 1 or 2 replacements.

The result is written to a second file.

This is done in C++ so very fast (I hope).
