Hello!
This is my first post out here! Please Help!!!
I have been trying to replace a certain text term on all files of my server (A couple of thousand files)
The problem is, I don't really have the backup of these files locally and I need to perform a find and replace funtion on my server.
I have access to ssh and use "putty" as a tool for the same. I am a Windows guy and have very little exposure to the universe of linux and opensource.
I can handle "putty" on a certain set of commands that i remember.
Example: tar zxvf filename.tar.gz (Unzips a file on the server)
So, if I could know the command for replacing a certain text term in one/all my directories and files. It would help a ton.
Example:
Text term to find: abc
Text term to replace: gef
Thanks in advance for all your kind help!
Best Regards
Amit
