# Sometimes you need to change something in a bunch of files at once. # These are some command-line ways of doing that. # For universal replacement (in all files down from the current directory): find ./ -type f -exec perl -pi -e \'s/stringtofind/stringtoreplacewith/g\' {} ; # To do all ".php"s, for example: find ./ -type f -name *.php -exec perl -pi -e \'s/stringtofind/stringtoreplacewith/g\' {} ; # To find/replace in just the present directory: perl -pi -e \'s/stringtofind/stringtoreplacewith/g\
