Re: One-liner search and replace with multiple files...on Windows.

On Windows, *.txt isn't expanded by the shell as in Linux. But Perl can expand it itself: just use glob.

perl -pi.bak -e "BEGIN { @ARGV = map glob, @ARGV } s/cheese/soup/g" *.
+txt

Don't use filenames containing spaces or wildcard characters with this, though.

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord

On Windows, *.txt isn't expanded by the shell as in Linux. But Perl can expand it itself: just use glob. There is a module for that: Win32::Autoglob. With a minor patch, it would also work on the nearly-dead other Microsoft operating systems MS-DOS and OS/2 (see Re^3: Perl Rename).
