Script for changing link codes -server solution

[Houdini]

I need to change 1000's of link codes, anyone know of a good search and replace software, script or command to do this with? Can't seem to find anything on the server side.

I would like to know as well

Well, as nice as it is to have such a piece of software , it might be more helpfull for you to plan ahead.

use external java to hold your banners, then when you need to change banners or ads, you can just swap the main java files with the information.

very simple, type in a *nix console:

find . -type f | xargs perl -pi.bak -e 's/OLDLINK/NEWLINK/g'

it works on all your dirs tree recursively and makes backups too.

Yeah, had to write a program that manages all my ads, my link codes, etc, I've been thinking about selling it, but didn't think anyone was looking for such a thing.
