find and replace
Hi,
There are some "n" files in a directory which contains comman string.A command to find and replace the string in all the files without looping. like if i am in a directory : # find ./ -name ".txt" | xargs sed -e 's/test/tst' Upto here is performed correctly and i want to redirect this to the same files.( ie ".txt" replcace ) ( As sed replaces but does modify the files so need to redirect to the same files ) Thanks

If you have GNU sed Code:
find ./ -name ".txt" | xargs sed -i -e 's/test/tst/g' Code:
find ./ -name ".txt" | xargs perl -pi -e 's/test/tst/g'

GNU sed has the -i option (inline edit) which you are looking for
otherwise, use perl instead of sed: Code:
perl -pi -e 's/test/tst/'

I am on HP Unix.
sed has no option "-i" for sed. perl -pi -e 's/test/test' Substitution replacement not terminated at -e line 1. Can't open perl script "s/e/t": No such file or directory I want to redirect to the same files in the directory
