In my perl notes I found this for recursive replace.... I want to replace all instances of oldstring with newstring in html files, ./ and below.
perl -i -e 's/oldstring/newstring/g;' $( find ./ -name '*.html' ) I know how to script it up with sed, but I'm interested in why this one-liner is not working (does nothing, no error), best I can tell it should work. // George -- George Georgalis, Architect and administrator, Linux services.
