I should mention, if only for the newbies who might be watching, that the above makes several assumptions about what is in /home/devicsil/public_html/Templates, including: 1) There are no files with spaces in their name. 2) There are no subdirectories. If there are we just renamed them to have a .bak extension and broke lots of stuff. 3) You don't want to change any files whose names begin with ".", i.e. .htaccess and friends. If any of those assumptions are not true, you probably need to dump the for loop and use something along the lines of: find /home/devicsil/public_html/Templates/ -type f mumblemumble -print0 | \ xargs -0 mumblemumble sed mumblemumble where you might want to replace "sed" with a script that does the mv, sed, echo stuff, if necessary.
