| Posted by takserver, 06-15-2015, 07:44 AM | | Thank you very much.
i have following error:
sed: couldn't edit /home/2: not a regular file
|
| Posted by diman, 06-15-2015, 10:38 AM | | My advice - find /home/* -type f | head -n1 | xargs sed -i 's/X.X.X.X/Y.Y.Y.Y/g';
Seems to be an error was called when sed had tried to "fix" directory name.

you can use this simple one to change the word to new one.
find /home -type f -exec sed -i 's/x.x.x.x/y.y.y.y/g' {} \;

Use 'find', and make sure that 'find' is finding what you want to change. Let's say you just want to change all the PHP files:
Repeat as needed for other file types like .htm, html etc.

| Posted by JustinAY, 06-17-2015, 12:06 PM | | The solutions suggested above will work.
One thing another poster said -- you may want to ensure you want to replace *everything*. If you run the above find command, you can remove the -exec bit and you will get a list of all files first. You can skim through these and once ensured you want to run the sed on everything, then add back the -exec part.
If you find a file or three you don't want to change, you can `chattr +i filename`, and then run the above find command. Then, you can `chattr -i filename` the file(s) you didn't want changed. This way you can still use find to do a mass change without effecting the files you want to remain the same.

find /home -type f -exec sed -i 's/x.x.x.x/y.y.y.y/g' {} \;
