Not really a PostgreSQL problem, but something quick in Perl could do this: <untested> perl -pi.bak -e 's/php4/php/gi;' `find -name "*.php3"` </untested> will iterate over all files in the current directory and below named *.php3. It iterates over every line in the file, subbing php for php3. Followups to a Perl list, please. -- Joel Burton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
