Created page with "== Find and Replace == With SSH access, you can replace a string of text within multiple files within a single command. For example, to update every instance of your phone nu..."

New page

== Find and Replace ==

With SSH access, you can replace a string of text within multiple files within a single command. For example, to update every instance of your phone number in all of your files, you would do the following:

<code>
$ find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/987-654-3210/555-789-0210/g' {} \;
</code>

For insensitive search and replace of the string:

<code>
$ find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/string1/string2/gI' {} \;
</code>

== Alternative methods ==

Pure '''sed'''<br>
<code>
$ cd /path/to/your/folder
$sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' *
</code>

All occurrences of the string "foo" will be replaced with the string "bar".

== Perl ==

<code>perl -pi -w -e 's/search/replace/g;' *.php </code>
<pre>
-e means execute the following line of code.
-i means edit in-place
-w write warnings
-p loop
</pre>
