Hey Everyone,
A couple weeks ago I sent in a question about how I could replace a
string of texts in a whole bunch of files at once. I was given the following
as a way to do it:
grep -l "the sun is green" *.html|xargs perl -p -i -e s/"the sun is
green"/"the sun is yellow"/g
Anyways the problem I found was when I was trying to update a string of text:
Site Updated 11/29/00 to Site Updated 12/6/00 I was unable to do it sense the
back slash is used in the syntax of the command. Is there anyway I can get
around this so that it just reads it as the character "/" in the file, so
that I can easy change these values. Thanks for your time.
