How would I know? You didn't say anything about the files on which you wish to operate. Is the target set all files whose name end in ".php"? If so, then yes. If not, then no. > > You didn't give any information about which files to operate on, so > > obviously I could not make that part of the sample / example script > > definite. > > That is the whole purpose of wanting a script.....I have over 2000 > files that need to have the ' inserted into the files.

If there's any regularity to the names of the files on which you wish the script to operate, then no, you don't need to type them. But so far, only you know those criteria so only you can write the code that will yield that list.
