I need the change a keyword for another keyword in the archives a module of cvs. Quisiera to do this of once. Somebody knows some tool and/or way to do this?
Off the top of my head, something like:
find -type f -exec sed -i 's/\$OriginalRCSKeyword[^\$]*/$NewRCSKeyword/g' {} \;
should do it. Check your changes very carefully before committing, though, in case one of the files is binary, or otherwise happens to have a string that matches the keyword. You'll also probably want a way to filter out files in the CVS subdirectories - I haven't figured out how to do that with 'find' yet (if indeed it's possible).
find <dir> -name CVS -prune -o -type f -exec sed ...
Note that you must specify the directory (or directories) to search before the expression options. Also, not all sed() implementations have the '-i (--in-place)' option. (I've used sed for years, and didn't know about it until just now. Gotta read those man pages more frequently. ;) )
