Parentheses in perl find/replace
I'm trying to use the following command to do a batch find and replace in all commonly named files through a file hierarchy
Code:
find . -name 'file' |xargs perl -pi -e 's/find/replace/g' As a specific example I'm trying to sub "G(d)" with "G('d,'p)." The interpreter seems to just ignore the parentheses and not finding the string "Gd" simply does nothing. I can't just find/replace "d" as the character appears throughout the file. Any help?

"G(d)" matches the first occurance of string "Gd" and puts "d" in $1. To match string "G(d)" AS IS, use "G\(d\)"
