My favourite method: for foo in `find . -name "something"` do ed $foo << END ,s/something/else/g w q END done This is doubtless less efficient than having find(1) drive ed directly. It has the advantage, however, of working everywhere consistently without requiring some new sed(1) or Perl or the like. -- Mason Loring Bliss mason@acheron.middleboro.ma.us Oderint dum metuant! https://bliss.dyndns.org/ awake ? sleep : random() & 2 ? dream : sleep;
