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
