I recieved other responses that suggested I read the man page on sed. My
problem was
that I did not know how to make sed put the change back into the orginal
file. The people
listed above gave me many ways to do that in the korn shell and some perl
solutions. I feel
like a kid in a candy store right now. I will show you the korn shell
example and if you would
like to see the other ones send me an email and I will forward them to you.
for x in *
do
echo $x
sed -e 's/dst_prod/dst_test/g' $x > ${x}.new
mv ${x}.new $x
done
here is one using the find command:
find . -type f -prune -exec grep -l dst_prod | while read f ; do
sed 's/dst_prod/dst_test/g' $f > /var/tmp/$$ ; mv /var/tmp/$$ $f
done
Again, thanks to all, this is the best mailing list!
