Full Discussion: find/grep command
Operating Systems HP-UX find/grep command Post 302306217 by TonyFullerMalv on Saturday 11th of April 2009 04:16:17 PM

To ensure the files being editted retain their ownership and permissions I would copy rather than move as follows:

Code:
find . -type f | while read file'; do
  sed 's/00001/00002/g' input.filename > tmp.filename && \
  cp tmp.filename input.filename && \
  rm tmp.filename
done

ns_mktemp

ns_tmp(3aolserver)					    AOLserver Built-In Commands 					ns_tmp(3aolserver)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       ns_mktemp, ns_tmpnam - commands

SYNOPSIS

       ns_mktemp template

       ns_tmpnam
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       ns_mktemp  returns  a unique filename based on the template you specify.  ns_tmpnam returns a filename that can safely be used for a tempo-
       rary file.

       The template for ns_mktemp should contain a string with six trailing Xs, which will be replaced with an alpha-numeric string of six charac-
       ters chosen to make the filename unique.  If template does not end with six trailing Xs the empty string will be returned.

       ns_tmpnam  calls  the  tmpnam()	C  library function, and the results will depend on your operating system.  On Irix, for example, tmpnam()
       always generate a file name using the path-prefix defined as P_tmpdir in the header file which is "/var/tmp/".

EXAMPLES

	nscp> ns_tmpnam ;# On Linux
	/tmp/filevuLwaE

	nscp> ns_mktemp /tmp/foobar.XXXXXX
	/tmp/foobar.p6SlaC

SEE ALSO
