Replace

Prabhu_7 — Mon, 15 Dec 2003 13:37:40 GMT

I have more than 150 shell scripts.
I use a common environmental variable (PROCESS_DT) in all of them. Now i need to change it as PROCESS_DATE. Is there any way i can change in all scripts all at once ?

Thanks
Raj

Hi

I dont have a server to check it on but this should create a backup of your file first and then do the replace.

Test it on a few files in a test environment first.

find . -type f -print | xargs perl -i.bak -p -e 's#/PROCESS_DT/#PROCESS_DATE#g'

Try this script:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
find . -type f -depth | while read FILE
do
sed "s/PROCESS_DT/PROCESS_DATE/g" < ${FILE} > ${FILE}.shiju
mv ${FILE}.shiju $FILE
done

Backup all you files.

for in in `ls -l|awk '{print $9}'`
do
sed "s/PROCESS_DT/PROCESS_DATE/g" $i > $.bak
mv $i.bak $i
done
