For me works the next command:

find /path/to/dir -name "file.txt" | xargs sed -i 's/string_to_replace/new_string/g' 
find /path/to/dir -name "file.txt" | xargs sed -i 's/string_to_replace/new_string/g'

if string contains slash 'path/to/dir' it can be replace with another character to separate, like '@' instead '/'.

For example: 's@string/to/replace@new/string@g'
