Hi,
it seems that you have to replace the quoting from '' to "":
"s/$argv[1]/$argv[2]/g"
because the variables are not expanded otherwise.
regards,
Maxim

Hello fish terminal team!
I have a quick question about a script I am trying to build.
Based on this stackoverflow question, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1583219/awk-sed-how-to-do-a-recursive-find-replace-of-a-string
I am building the following fn:function recursive_replaceset arg_count (count $argv)if [ $arg_count != 2 ]echo "expecting two arguments."returnendecho replacing $argv[1]echo replacing $argv[2]find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/$argv[1]/$argv[2]/g'end
However I feel like based on the way fish is structured, perhaps I am approaching the problem wrong. The above fn doesn't work, because $argv[1] isn't being textually replaced by it's value when the find command is executed.
Can someone suggest how I can get this to work? I'm either missing something in the documentation, or completely clueless how fish is envisioned to be used.
Thanks!! :)
