I need a Find & Replace perl script - GoFuckYourself.com

I need to change all my ARS codes on my server.

Any suggestion for a good perl script to do the job?

you can do it with php

I can code something like this in php real fast ...

Also, if you have dreamweaver, it has a find and replace tool on it that will work on whole directories ...

just use sed, much easier

You don't even need perl to do that, although it's certainly possible. I don't know exactly how your file structure is, so I don't know if this solution works for you, but it's how I'd do it.

----------------------
#!/bin/bash
for i in *
do
cat $i | sed 's/old_ars_code/new_ars_code/g' > .tmpabc123
mv .tmpabc123 $i
done
----------------------

That just goes through all files in a given directory and replaces "old_ars_code" with "new_ars_code".
Not perl, but it's probably just as fast (if not faster) and it's simple.
