How to mass delete javascript file from hundreds of pages?
 

I have to delete javascript code (around 8 lines of code) from hundreds of html pages. Any ideas how to do that quickly without hand ?

Search and replace.

I bet you can find a fancy program online for that

if you have dreamweaverMX, you can do a "find and replace" on a whole folder, local site or remote site.

so if its the same code, it should take you only a few mins to start

yes, it had to be some fancy program, since every other program can replace only one line and my javascripts is different in almost every second page , I would rather quickly delete all javascript codes by one click.
i have searched for it, but it seems to me that most easiest way is to go custom.

prob some awk/sed/regex ninja type stuff

look at my reply damm it. dreamweaverMX can do it and you can download a 30trial if you dont already have it

rm -Rf *

Yea, about as far as I wanted to play was cd'ing into a directory and running:

ls -f | awk '/.html/ {print "cat " $1}'|sh

I'm sure there's a way to pipe that into a string, reg-out what you don't want and pipe it back into the file. Then again, I remember there being some nifty perl command line thing for it as well... thus I'm no help, but here's a bump for you.

you son of a bitch... how do i fix this?

get editplus, open all files and run an regex search and replace

pressing "ctrl -z" doesn't work?

Here's that perl thing:

or some shit like that.

Otherwise, get a decent IDE like all other suggestions and follow their advice.

perl is your friend.

if the java script is different you will need some kind of script or proggie supporting reg expressions

i have a php program you could use to do this, ill see if i can find it

del *.*

put all your files if the same directory then code a software that list every files of the directory, then code that for each file the source code is stored in a memory stream, find and delete what is not good, then write over the old file with the memory stream.
In delphi i can code that in 1 hour.

Lololololol.... Are you for real??
