Delete text from a bunch of .obj files at once using terminal

Question

How can I delete the text ATTR_shiny_rat 0.900 from a bunch of .obj files at once using terminal?

What are .obj files and how do they look like? Could you please provide an example? — David Foerster, Oct 27 '16 at 21:00

for i in *.obj; do
  grep -v 'ATTR_shiny_rat\s0\.900' "$i" > temp
  rm "$i"
  mv temp "$i"
done

What happens if there's already a file temp in the current working directory? It would be lost in the process. – David Foerster Oct 27 '16 at 21:52
