Something like this:

for file in *.txt
do
    cp $file $file.tmp
    cat $file.tmp | sed 's/foo/bar/g' > $file
done

---

You could also use perl:

perl -pi -e 's/find/replace/g' *.txt

---

Just bash

for file in *.txt
do
   while read -r line
   do
     case "$line" in
       "*pattern*") line="${line//pattern/new}";;
     esac
     echo "$line"
   done <"$file" > t
   mv t "$file"
done

Use sed.
