Hello All,

This question is actually for the service console of VMware ESX 3.5 but is relevant to this forum I think. I have been advised to use the following commands:

for i in `find /vmfs/volumes/Test_VMFS/ -name "*.vmx"`
do
echo "$i"
#sed -i 's/scsi1:0.present = "true"/scsi1:0.present = "false"/g' "$i"
done

This works to modify that line in all the .vmx files that do NOT contain spaces in their path. But the ones that do fail. It has to do with the way that the FOR command reads in the variable. I have seen some posts on using the while command but I am unable to translate it into what I need. Plus I am not sure if VMware uses the while command from the Service Console. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanx,
Matt
