Hi all. I've looked in the archives for this problem and have tried
quite a few different suggestions but so far, no luck. I'm trying to do
a search and replace for a specific web address and changing it to a
different web address. The problem is that this particular string is in
thousands of files and may show up many times within one file. I want
to be able to issue a command that will replace all those entries with
the new entry. The files exist in many directories and subdirectories
on the hard drive.

The types of problems I ran into so far is that some files will take the
change, but not all of them. Or it will replace some of the entries in
one file but leave out an entry in the same file. Sounds strange but
true.

Any ideas on what I can use to do this? We're running Solaris 9 on an
Ultra 10. Thanks.
