When I try to run the one-liners I get: Can't open *.cpp: Invalid argument. Can't open *.hpp: Invalid argument.
But when I do a dir command I get: target_functions.cpp target_modules.cpp global_constants.hpp global_header.hpp class_functions.cpp S2b_4.opt Clearly these files are there . . . or am I just doing something silly . . . tim -----Original Message----- From: Brett W.

This can actually be done on the command-line: perl -pi.bak -e 's/satellite/target/g' *.cpp *.hpp. *.asc There's nothing wrong with doing it in three steps. -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Trust me": Translation of the Latin "caveat emptor."
