In my perl notes I found this for recursive replace....
I want to replace all instances of oldstring with newstring in html files, ./ and below.
perl -i -e 's/oldstring/newstring/g;' $( find ./ -name '*.html' )
I know how to script it up with sed, but I'm interested in why this one-liner is not working (does nothing, no error), best I can tell it should work.
Does find ./ -name '*.html' by itself list the files you want? if so try this: perl -i -e 's/oldstring/newstring/g;' `find ./ -name '*.html'`
