I'd rather suggest `grep` and a good editor.

Wherever `ambient` is used to simulate ambient light, you should leave
it as is. If the value is unusually high, you should add `emission 0` to
suppress the warning.

Wherever `ambient` is used to simulate glowing material, you should
replace it with `emission`.
