Suggestions for a command line search-and-replace tool on Windows

I am looking for a Windows tool (exe) or Python script which can be used on the command line to search and replace strings in text files recursively in a source code tree. I am trying to avoid the custom syntax of sed/awd like linux tools. It needs to be automated, therefore it needs to be command line.

Any suggestions?

What command is used for replace?

To use Find and Replace, use the shortcut Ctrl+H or navigate to Editing in the Home tab of the ribbon, then choose Replace.
