Subject: word substitution in file

Hi,

Can anyone help me in that?
I just want to write the following function:

substitute(f,g,w,x)

where f and g are files and w and x are strings
That function substitutes all the ocurrences of w in the file f and 
writes x to g

For example, if f is:
"
Hello folks or
 old men
"

and w = "ol" and x="ur"

then g is:

"
Hello furks or
 urd men
"

Can anyone show me some code?
I thinked to pass file to string but I thinked it was not very fast. 
Better directly
