Need Help finding a script

[DrCocker]

Hello all

I am trying to find a script that I can run on my server that will search through all pages on the server (recursivly through folders as well) finding text in files and replacing with new text I specify. Preferably in PHP. If anyone knows of such a script, I would greatly appreciate a heads up.

TIA

I have such a script for you that I've set
up for a few people recently after the AC fiasco.
Thank goodness it's not in PHP, as the script
has to have write permissions to all of your files
and PHP is inherently insecure.
There's no way I'd ever set up a PHP script with
write access to everything.

I think they call it DreamWeaver, it is made by Macromedia...

How does dreamweaver run on the server so I could do a serverwide Search & Replace? I have thousands of different pages that I need to do a replace on. Doing so locally and then uploading is too painful. If DW really does do this, I'd appreciate the tip.

Best regards

SSH into your server....

man grep

This should help ya - providing you got a linux box that is.

I could make a shell script that does this with sed if you need it...

What type of server are you on? (Windows/Linux/etc.)

P.S.

Dreamweaver is a client side program. It is a good editor, but it is not meant to run on the server unleass you want to try to run it on a windows server and open a remote session somehow...

Your best bet would be a shell script.
find, sed, and or perl are your friends...
man <command> to find out more about the command in quesion, like macker said.

Thanks for the replies all. It is running on a redhat linux server. I would like to try out that shell script if possible.

p.s. Actually I use dreamweaver and know its only a client side app. I was just wondering if V knew of some technique using it that I was unaware of.

Regards,
Doc

P.S. Always looking for good submissions! www.drcocker.com
