Recursive string replacement.

[sdavaluri]

Hi Folks,
I would like to list the files and search & replace a string recursively. Problem using SED is it replaces and puts output in another file. I want it to be replaced. Can anyone help on this. Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
SD.

This is not elegant, but you can use vi
[tt]
echo ':1,$ s/SEARCH/REPLACE/g'\\n':wq'|vi file1 >/dev/null
[/tt]

This is just a hint/idea:

#!/bin/ksh

for i in *.lst
do
ex - ${i} <<EOF
%s/STOP/START/g
wq!
EOF
done;
