Linux search/replace
March 15, 2006
I’ve futzed around for years trying to keep up with having a handy search/replace utility on linux, and always end up having to google for some crappy “find ./ -name $1 sed/$2 blah blah blah” bash script that inevitably feels rickety and/or like black magic.
http://www.laffeycomputer.com/rpl.html is a great open source package which you can compile into a binary which does a great job of search and replace, has a number of good switches, and is *fast*. Just thought I’d post it here to help out anyone with similar problems…
