Question

I need a command that will help me accomplish what I am trying to do. At the moment, I am looking for all the “.html” files in a given directory, and seeing which ones contain the string “jacketprice” in any of them.

Is there a way to do this? And also, for the second (but separate) command, I will need a way to replace every instance of “jacketprice” with “coatprice”, all in one command or script. If this is feasible feel free to let me know. Thanks

Answer 1

find . -name "*.html" -exec grep -l jacketprice {} \;

for i in `find . -name "*.html"`
do
  sed -i "s/jacketprice/coatprice/g" $i
done
