`find . -name '*.html' \| xargs perl -pi -e 's/php\?/html/g'` When I run this I get a bunch of "Can't open" lines even though I'm in the folder directory. Any ideas? Thanks, -Bob	[reply] [d/l]

You have spaces in your file and/or directory names and I claim my five pounds. Try `find . -name '*.html' -print0 \| xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's/php\?/html/g'` [download] /J\	[reply] [d/l]

> You have spaces in your file and/or directory names Nope, no spaces in either. I just tried your code, it didn't crash or anything, just gave me a new line - files remain unchanged. Have you tried this on a test folder and got it to work? If so, can you please run down the steps? I'm obviously doing something wrong ... Thanks, -Bob	[reply]
