global replace...
Hi,
I have a dir containing many shell scripts. Each of these shell scripts state a database name (always the same), which I need to change to be a new database. grep <database name> * brings back all the lines containing the database name. However, I need to change them to be something else. Is there an easy way around this? or is it better to create a new dir area and use sed somehow? Very new to all this? Can't find simple answer to match the simple query....

From the directory which has the scripts, run this.
Code:
for file in * do sed -e 's/EXISTING_DB_NAME/NEW_DB_NAME/g' $file > $file.tmp mv $file.tmp $file 2> /dev/null done
