i need your feedback about this command, it should find a string in multiple html files in a directory and replace it with a different string...
find /dir -name "*.html" -exec sed -i 's/"old"/"new"/g' {} ;
Mad Unix,
find /dir -name "*.html" -exec sed -i -e 's/old/new/g' {} ;
or
find /dir -name "*.html" -exec sed -i".bck" -e 's/old/new/g' {} ;
to keep a backup.
