This is an example of command line manipulation, or "parsing" that is
commonly used. In this example, I'm using sed to go through the original
file, myfile.txt, and replace every instance of "teh" with "the" and
saving the changes to the file called mynewfile.txt. This is all done from
the command line. A lot fancier stuff can be done, with sed, awk, and
such.
