Thomas, All,

> -i' in a 'find | xargs sed -i'. However, if the find returns no results,

Why not use: 'xargs -r' instead?
--no-run-if-empty
-r If the standard input does not contain any nonblanks, do
not run the command. Normally, the command is run once
even if there is no input. This option is a GNU extension.
Using 'find -exec' is OK, but it spawns a process for each result. I
doubt we end up in a case with trillions of results, so the overhead
should not be noticeable.
Note that it is possible to have 'find' behave like xargs, with a
construct like:
find DIR PREDICATES -exec command {} +
-exec command {} +
This variant of the -exec action runs the specified command on
the selected files, but the command line is built by appending
each selected file name at the end; the total number of invoca‐
tions of the command will be much less than the number of
matched files. The command line is built in much the same way
that xargs builds its command lines. Only one instance of `{}'
is allowed within the command. The command is executed in the
starting directory.
