Subject: search a file and replace text

I need to search a specific xml file in a directory, look for:

<port system-property="tangosol.coherence.clusterport">30890</port>

and if the port 30890 is still there replace it with a different
integer.

I know of several ways to do this (like open the file, iterate the
lines until I find the integer, do a gsub! on on the integer).  But it
seems like there might be a better way to do it.  Is there a search
and replace API I don't know about?

Any thoughts?
