Search and Replace on a Linux Server - GoFuckYourself.com

Hey guys,

I have hundreds of links I need to replace across a few different domains/cpanels.

I was wondering if any one knew of an easy way to do this?

Or some script to do it? (Like bk search and replace BUT on the server itself)

Thanks!!!

Use sed or awk -- Google them for examples.

something like this?

find / -name "*.php" -print | xargs sed -i 's/www.example.com/www.newurl.com/g'

what do the urls look like that you're trying to change?

If you're on Linux, use rpl
Usage: rpl [options] old_string new_string target_file(s)

"man rpl" will give you more options, such as how to do recursive...

Works great for things like this
