I want to change the script to traverse through a directory of files ie instead of prompting for input and output files, the script should take as argument a directory path such as C:\temp\allFilesTobeReplaced\ and search for a string x and replace it with y for all files under that directory path and write out the same files perl C:\temp\allFilesTobeReplaced\ How do I do this? Please help. Thanks in advance. -------------------------------------- <snip> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
