How about `sed` the "stream editor" ? and `cut` ? locate .htm \ | xargs grep -h www.dribble.net \ | cut -f2 '-d<' \ | sed -e 's/dribble.net/blither.org/' \ > myfile.out How (and whether) you use cut would depend on your html coding standards, of course... Of course, with 'grep -h ...' you'll never know which files the original text sprung from. But you probably know that. -- does a brain cell think?
