Re^5: Find and Replace text script?

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'

> 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]
