You have to fill that part in. Do you know the names of the files?
If so, list them in the first section.
Do you have a set of "find" criteria that will produce the target
files? If so, use that section.
Do you have a simple shell "glob" (wild-card) expression that will
yield the proper targets? If so, use that.
Shouldn't *.php yield the results i need as far as find the 2000 files?
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. No way am i going to
hand type the file names in.
You asked an incomplete question,
so you received an incomplete answer.
Where are the files (don't say "my computer")...
are they all in one directory?
Are there any other files in those directories which
you DON'T want modified?
Randall is no more of a mindreader than you are,
so quit chastising him for trying to help you.
I suggest you read the following sections of the
"How To Ask Questions" page on Eric S. Raymond's site.
(yes, I'm serious!)

Oh hell, just read the whole page:

Whatever...Aaron, you arrived a little late on the scene, so i will
excuse you :)
No way was i chastising Randall for his help. Quite the opposite, i
thank Randall and all of you for all your help.
I followed the whole exchange.
You need to read the page, because, if you had written your
question better, you would have recieved a useful answer
much more quickly, without raising animosity.
