Hi,
I want to replace a string with another string in a lot of files:
Have the following which is halfway there:
sed -e 's/BERT/FRED/g' *
It does however write to std out and not do an in place substitution.
How can I do an in place substitution, please?
find . -type f -iname "*" | xargs -i% sed 's/BERT/FRED/g' % > %
maybe! i din't test it.
TIA
