You don't, that's not sed's job, which is to edit the text you give it. Use find to generate a list of files for sed to work on. > And while I'm at it, how do I change the field > separator from / to enable me to search on that character? By using something else, you don't need to tell sed, it works it out for itself, just use something that isn't in your search string, : is a good candidate. Or you can escape the / as \/ but this quickly degenerates into the leaning matchstick appearance so beloved of Perl scripters. -- Neil Bothwick Windows Error #01: No error... ...yet.
