[Corpora-List] fast string replacement

[Leif Arda Nielsen]

You can use sed, pre-installed on most linux distributions. The rules
you wrote would be :

sed -e 's/nice/nice\/adj/g' -e 's/books/books\/v:3:pres;n:plur' input >
output

Instead of a one-liner, you can also write it in a program form if you
prefer.
