Open the input file, open an output file, read the lines one at a time from the input file, use 'instr' to find the text, if found use 'substr' to replace it, write the line to the output file, at end of file, if no changes made, drop the output file, if changes made, save the output file, drop the input file, and rename the output file to the input file name.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "but i want someone to give me a query". Please either explain what you want or post the question/request that has been asked of you.
