Modify different files at the same time
Hi, I'm having the following problem.
I have some files to modify, between a large number of files.
I thought the following code
PHP Code:
aux2=`grep -l 2.2.17 *`
print "$aux2"
aux3=`ls -l *.ksh | wc -l`
print "$aux3"
while [ $aux3 -ne 0 ]; do
print "The counter is $aux3"
#Add the sed here
aux3=$((aux3-1))
done
I also thought the basic code for the modify. I have to use a sed :P
But I don't know how to go between the different files in the while. Use the first file in the first loop, the second file in the following loop and so on.
The files are stored in the aux2 variable.
Could you give me any idea
Thanks

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
