Hi,

I'm looking to combine the two commands find and sed together for the work that i'm worknig on.
I need to find the ip addresse in any file from current directory and below, once is found i need to replace it with new ip addresse. Here is what i have but not complete.

Find IP from current directory to sub-directory
#find . -type f |xargs grep -l "10.117.18.70"

My script can only change ip that found in current directory but not sub-directory. I want to combine the find and this sed in script.

#!/bin/bash
for fl in *.* ; do

mv $fl $fl.old
sed 's/10.117.18.70/10.117.18.73/g' $fl.old > $fl
rm -f $fl.old
done

Thanks

This should do the trick

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for fl in `find . -type f` ; do

mv $fl $fl.old
sed 's/10.117.18.70/10.117.18.73/g' $fl.old > $fl 
rm -f $fl.old
done

Thanks a lot. I't working great.

Hi,
Now my script is working fine. When i run it it change the owner to root if root isthe one to run, i guess because of the command mv. How to keep the files attributes the same after running this script. Any thought?

Thanks again.

#!/bin/bash
for fl in `find . -type f` ; do

mv $fl $fl.old
sed 's/10.117.18.70/10.117.18.73/g' $fl.old > $fl
rm -f $fl.old
done

mv doesn't change ownership.

Code:

sed 's/10.117.18.70/10.117.18.73/g' $fl.old > $fl 

It's when you creating the new file. Just run the script as the current owner of the file.

Or you can complexify you script...

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for fl in `find . -type f` ; do
   owner=`ls -al $fl | awk '{printf "%s:%s",$3,$4}'`
   mv $fl $fl.old
   sed 's/10.117.18.70/10.117.18.73/g' $fl.old > $fl 
   rm -f $fl.old
   chown $owner $fl
done
