Title: What is the Best Mass Search & Replace CLI command?
Post by: ChaosLord on July 22, 2004, 07:42:33 PM

Hello Amiga.Organisms :)

What do u guys use to do mass search & replace of strings in text files?

I used stringer for a while but have now found that it has many terrible bugs and the coder's email bounces so I can't report the bugs to him. :(

There are many times when I must, for example, rename every
occurrence of a variable in every source file that it is found in.

This means searching/replacing thru megabytes of text in a thousand files.  Which cli proggy do u recommend?

sed. It's good for those sorts of things.
