Hi, I would like to run all of the files in some directories
through sed, in order to edit the files. I can do it for
individual files by typing: cat filename|sed command>filename
But that requires me to run that command for each file. I
was wondering if anyone could 1) give me a reference to a
simple bash tutorial that will explain how to set up a script
to do things like this,
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html
and 2) tell me how to do it.
for f in *; do tmp=`tempfile`; cat $f | sed command > $tmp ; mv $tmp $f; done
