Need Help with Search and Replace in Linux
 

For some reason, this code doesn't want to work, what am I doing wrong.

perl -e "s/www.sexhit.com\/cgi-bin\/BAN_record?zoinkme\/0048000097\//www.wetnyoung.com\/216bf2e050c0a28437ea494d6aeb2a1e\//g;" `find . -name "*.*"`

Yes, it runs fine with no syntax errors, it just doesn't replace the instantances of the code. Yes, all one line. Yes, I know it would be case sensative. Any ideas?
Thanks,

you need to use 'perl -pi -e' rather than just 'perl -e'. you might need to escape the ?, too.

I have got most of it working at the moment, my problem from going through it bit by bit is the ? mark. Problem is I don't know perl/unix commands that well. doing a /? doesn't escape it and just gives me an error. hm... ANyone know how to 'escape' a ? in this command?
