No, I'm trying to find 'this' in files and replace it with 'that' 
recursively through a directory. It works, but it doesn't actually 
commit the change to the files, it finds 'this' and reports that it 
replaced it with 'that', but when I run the scipt again it reports the 
same files that it just fixed.
