Will that also follow all sub directories? That was the one part I was not sure on. I need it to. Thank you very much for the help.

---------- Post updated at 04:08 AM ---------- Previous update was at 04:02 AM ----------

Well that might not work. I am getting....
Code:
:/lcl/dev/apps/Tivoli>perl -e "s/\/lcl\/sit\/lcl\/dev/g;" -pi $(find /lcl/dev/apps/Tivoli/tipv2 -type f)
bash: /usr/bin/perl: Arg list too long

Not shocked as there are a ton of files that need to have this path replaced. Any ideas guys? Thank you again.

partx

PARTX(8)                                                       System Administration                                                      PARTX(8)

NAME

       partx - tell the kernel about the presence and numbering of on-disk partitions

SYNOPSIS

       partx [-a|-d|-P|-r|-s|-u] [-t type] [-n M:N] [-] disk
       partx [-a|-d|-P|-r|-s|-u] [-t type] partition [disk]

DESCRIPTION

       Given a device or disk-image, partx tries to parse the partition table and list its contents.  It can also tell the kernel to add or remove
       partitions from its bookkeeping.

       The disk argument is optional when a partition argument is provided.  To force scanning a partition as if it were a whole disk (for example
       to list nested subpartitions), use the argument "-" (hyphen-minus).  For example:

              partx --show - /dev/sda3

       This will see sda3 as a whole-disk rather than as a partition.

       partx  is  not  an fdisk program - adding and removing partitions does not change the disk, it just tells the kernel about the presence and
       numbering of on-disk partitions.

OPTIONS

       -a, --add
              Add the specified partitions, or read the disk and add all partitions.

       -b, --bytes
              Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in human-readable format.

       -d, --delete
              Delete the specified partitions or all partitions.

       -g, --noheadings
              Do not print a header line with --show or --raw.

       -l, --list
              List the partitions.  Note that all numbers are in 512-byte sectors.  This output format is DEPRECATED in favour of --show.  Do  not
              use it in newly written scripts.

       -n, --nr M:N
              Specify  the range of partitions.  For backward compatibility also the format M-N is supported.  The range may contain negative num-
              bers, for example --nr -1:-1 means the last partition, and --nr -2:-1 means the last two partitions.  Supported range specifications
              are:

                     M      Specifies just one partition (e.g. --nr 3).

                     M:     Specifies the lower limit only (e.g. --nr 2:).

                     :N     Specifies the upper limit only (e.g. --nr :4).

                     M:N    Specifies the lower and upper limits (e.g. --nr 2:4).

       -o, --output list
              Define the output columns to use for --show, --pairs and --raw output.  If no output arrangement is specified, then a default set is
              used.  Use --help to get list of all supported columns.  This option cannot be combined with the --add, --delete, --update or --list
              options.

       -P, --pairs
              List the partitions using the KEY="value" format.

       -r, --raw
              List the partitions using the raw output format.

       -s, --show
              List  the partitions.  The output columns can be selected and rearranged with the --output option.  All numbers (except SIZE) are in
              512-byte sectors.

       -t, --type type
              Specify the partition table type.

       --list-types
              List supported partition types and exit.

       -u, --update
              Update the specified partitions.

       -S, --sector-size size
              Overwrite default sector size.

       -v, --verbose
              Verbose mode.

       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.

       -h, --help
              Display help text and exit.

EXAMPLES

       partx --show /dev/sdb3
       partx --show --nr 3 /dev/sdb
       partx --show /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb
              All three commands list partition 3 of /dev/sdb.

       partx --show - /dev/sdb3
              Lists all subpartitions on /dev/sdb3 (the device is used as whole-disk).

       partx -o START -g --nr 5 /dev/sdb
              Prints the start sector of partition 5 on /dev/sdb without header.

       partx -o SECTORS,SIZE /dev/sda5 /dev/sda
              Lists the length in sectors and human-readable size of partition 5 on /dev/sda.

       partx --add --nr 3:5 /dev/sdd
              Adds all available partitions from 3 to 5 (inclusive) on /dev/sdd.

       partx -d --nr :-1 /dev/sdd
              Removes the last partition on /dev/sdd.
