search directory-find files-append at end of line
Hi,
I have a command "get_data" with some parameters in few *.text files of a directory. I want to first find those files that contain this command and then append the following parameter to the end of the command.
example of an entry in the file :-
get_data -x -m50 /etc/web/getid
this should be changed to
get_data -x -m50 /etc/web/getid -ADD 31 -yxm
The value -ADD 31 -yxm should be repeated to all the files that contain this command
Thanks

sticky
STICKY(7) BSD Miscellaneous Information Manual STICKY(7)
NAME
sticky -- sticky text and append-only directories
DESCRIPTION
A special file mode, called the sticky bit (mode S_ISTXT), is used to indicate special treatment for directories. It is ignored for regular
files. See chmod(2) or the file <sys/stat.h> for an explanation of file modes.
STICKY DIRECTORIES
A directory whose `sticky bit' is set becomes an append-only directory, or, more accurately, a directory in which the deletion of files is
restricted. A file in a sticky directory may only be removed or renamed by a user if the user has write permission for the directory and the
user is the owner of the file, the owner of the directory, or the super-user. This feature is usefully applied to directories such as /tmp
which must be publicly writable but should deny users the license to arbitrarily delete or rename each others' files.
Any user may create a sticky directory. See chmod(1) for details about modifying file modes.
HISTORY
A sticky command appeared in Version 32V AT&T UNIX.
BUGS
Neither open(2) nor mkdir(2) will create a file with the sticky bit set.
