I have a I need to replace all instances of the word mysite.com to maysite.net within the public_html web folder. How can I accomplish this.

dannyd, try this:

for FileName in `ls -1`
do
 sed 's/mysite.com/mysite.net/g' $FileName > $$TempFile
 mv $$TempFile $FileName
done

Would this replace the keyword mysite.com to mysite.net in all subfolders as well ?

No. You didn't specify it in your request.
To list all files in your directory and sub-directories, replace
`ls -1` by `find .`

Sorry I dont think i was clear in my question. I would like to replace all instances of the word mysite.com to mysite.net inside every file in the entire website.

I think your solution searches for files with the name mysite.com and renames them to mysite.net.

No dannyd,
My solution with the "find" loops thru every single file in the current directory
and sub-directories and for each file found, it searches and replaces the string
"mysite.com" to "mysite.net".

No. You didn't specify it in your request.
Danny,
I dont think we may require `ls -1` in the for loop in case we are listing the files/directories in the Current working directory just an * will do.

Also note `find .` or `ls -1` or simple * will list all files & directories,so we may to have use,

Please correct me if am wrong.

Thanks
