SED is available for VMS as well. Best is to get the freeware GNV package.
Follow the freeware path at the VMS home page
to
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/opensourc...
Also PERL is availabe for VMS, follow the above opensource or freeware links at HP.
There a zillions of find-replace scripts on the the various perl archives.
You can as well use VMS editors like TPU/EVE, see examples in my utilities directory:

And interactive, using the EDT editor:
edit/edt/comm=sys$input tmp.tmp
s/old/new/wh
exit
changes all strings "old" to "new" in file tmp.tmp.

In addition, without installing anything else to basic VMS, see my GSR.COm (Global Search and Replace):
