I'm trying to find all the HTML documents in my website and change a line in them from a link to a different site to an absolute link on the current server. The perl one-liner I wrote is (Jeez, am I proud of this): find -iname "*.*htm*" -o -iname "*.stm"|xargs egrep -l "centernet\.jhuccp\.org/cgi-bin/mail2friend|cgi\.jhuccp\.org/cgi-bin/mail2friend"|xargs perl -pi~ -e"s?http://.*\.jhuccp\.org(/cgi-bin/mail2friend)?\1?g;"
It seems to run fine and changes many files, but when I go searching for the string that was supposed to be changed, I keep finding more file. Many were changed correctly, but some were not. It strikes me that maybe perl can't take too many arguments at once. There are options to the xarg command that allow no more than so many arguments at a time to be passed. Is this what's wrong? What should I set the number of arguments to? Thanks for trying to help me with this. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.
