Find and replace in unix

joalpeca1 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-24-04, 17:36

Hi
I have to problem with a find and replace with command unix and perl
i use this sentence for find and replace a text:

# find . -name '*.shtml' | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/Salio/sisepuede/i'

but i have this problem

Can't open ./prueba: No such file or directory, <> line 902.
Can't open ssss.shtml: No such file or directory, <> line 902.

this problem is because my file name is "./prueba ssss.shtml" and the
"xargs" take this file like two file: "./prueba" , "ssss.shtml" .

I need fix this error, how i can fix this error and take this file like one.

Thank for you help.
Good Day

Try...

Code:

find . -name '*.shtml' | IFS=# xargs perl -p -i -e 's/Salio/sisepuede/i'

If your find supports thr -printf option, yo can do :

Code:

find . -name '*.shtml' -printf "'%p' " | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/Salio/sisepuede/i'

If it's not the case, you can do :

Code:

find . -name '*.shtml' -exec perl -p -i -e 's/Salio/sisepuede/i' '{}' \;
