Plenty. One is to use the venerable sed utility from Qshell or PASE.
Here's an article (on a slightly different topic, but the stuff on sed
still applies):

You can of course put the Qshell command into a CL.

For very simple changes, this is the easiest and quickest I can think
of (unless REXX can do it, in which case REXX would perhaps be even
better).

For things that are more complicated, it may be easier to write
another program in another language (I will plug iSeries Python once
again, as it has ludicrously easy access to IFS stream files and
Perl-like regex support) and then call that from your CL.
