Replacing text in many files is reasonably simple with sed, on the command line.<\/p>\n
If you do this, I would recommend that you come up with a way to take a backup, because there is almost no chance you’ll get it right on the first try.<\/p>\n
My preferred approach is to make an empty git repository with the initial state, which allows me to rollback the changes every time I need to iterate on the sed script.<\/p>\n
\ngit init .\ngit add -A \ngit commit -m \"files\"\n<\/pre>\nFor this example, I’m adding an Amazon link to a bunch of files. The successful solution is as follows (you want the generate format of “s\/\/\/” to control it in your own script).<\/p>\n\nfind . -type f -iname '*.html' -exec sed -i 's\/\"sidebar-module\">\/\"sidebar-module\">
