title: Pentaho Kettle, find replace in text file
body: <p>I am trying to read a text file and replace all occurrence of a "search term" with "replace term" with regular expression and write the new file.</p>
  
  <p>I am relatively new to pentaho kettle and not sure which transform or set of steps will suite best for this use case? Most transforms read data by rows or columns so I am not sure how to read a text file and do a find replace to work? Most transforms either file line by line or by fields.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for time and attention.</p>
