Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and alex stan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> whispered:
| Could anyone help me?
| How can i find a string in a file and then replace it with another string?
| Thanks a lot
Try:
perl -i.bak -pe 's/oldstring/newstring/g' filename
This will create a backup of the original file and a new file with the
changes.
