Ruby on Rails: How can i change contents of a file after renaming the project name?

Question

Suppose i started a project name "abcd" doing this "rails new abcd".

So some configuration files are created by default with the name "abcd".

After few months if i change the project name to "xyz".

Then will the contents of those configuration files be changed automatically ?

How how can i change those line with "abcd" to "xyz".

Or is there any command to change these lines automatically ?

Suppose the config.ru =>

 3 require ::File.expand_path('../config/environment', __FILE__) 4 run Abc::Application

Not it would be =>

 3 require ::File.expand_path('../config/environment', __FILE__) 4 run Xyz::Application

I would normally do that with my text editor - Find in files / replace "Abc" by "Xyz".

Right now I use vim + multiple plugins, but it has a steep curve. Ultraedit has this functionality and it's available on windows, mac & linux.
