Unix script to do a global change
I want to write a script to go into a unix directory and recursively change all the instances of a word in every file in every directory and sub directory.
Here's where I am now:
I can execute
find . -print | xargs grep "my_word"
to recuresively return all the files with my_word in it.
So, now I know which files contain my_word, and now I need to figure out how to write a script and go in and change every occurance of my_word to new_word.
Can anyone help?
