<script type="text/javascript">\
_uacct = "UA-1234567-00";\

</script>\
</body>*' *.html

gets rid of the script Smilie
Hi reborg! Thanks! I am on Mac OSX, which does not seem to have gsed. So, I'll stick with the wrapper for now, since it works fine.

Hi shell_life, I'll edit my post to fix my typo, LOL Smilie Thanks again!

I edited while you were replying, maybe you have perl, I don't have a Mac handy (unless I'm in the office) to check.

The alternative would be to replace the sed in the above expression with a 'perl -pi -e '.

Hi reborg!

Yes, that is the way I used to do years ago it before I forgot (with perl, not sed), thanks; and yes, OSX has perl out-of-the-box.

Thanks again! Mission accomplished!

find is always handy
Code:
find ./ -type f -exec sed 's*</body>*<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">\
</script>\
\
<script type="text/javascript">\
_uacct = "UA-1234567-00";\
urchinTracker();\
</script>\
</body>*' {} \;
