Advanced replace
Hello,

How can I replace the following with null from a file

";var "d=e";"^x"


replace "";var "d=e";"^x"" "" -- filename ; doesnot work nor if I use \ in between.



Please advise.


Thanks

Try :
Code:
sed 's/";var "d=e";"^x"//g' inputfile > outputfile

You can do something like that (not tested) :
Code:
while read file
do
   sed 's/";var "d=e";"^x"//g' $file > $file.tmp && mv $file.tmp $file
done < input_file_list

Hello,


sed 's/";var "d=e";"^x"//g' file

is working fine but... the script for mass replace it not.


I have the list of files whihc has the string in a file say .. input_file_list


Please can you test the script.


Thanks.

The file input_file_list contains the list of files to proceed
