rsed Description

A recursive version of sed rsed is a recursive version of sed. It also solves a few of the other limitations of sed. They include: - The ability to easily see which files will be changed ahead of time- Save original files - in case you need them later- Test your sed expressions easilyUsage:rsed -c search string -r replacement string -t temporary directory -v verbose mode -q quiet mode -nf do not exit on failure -d delete files after operation is complete -nocolor turn color off If -c is specified but -r is not the script performs a test run without modifying any of the files.rsed examples:Here are some examples of how you can use the script: rsed -c "^Tset" Find files that contain the regexp: ^Tset This does not change any of the files, it is considered a test run rsed -c "^Tset" -r "Test" Replace the occurances of ^Tset with Test This modifies the file, and saves a copy of the original filename (by appending rsed to the filename) rsed -c "^Tset" -r "Test" -d Replace the occurances of ^Tset with Test This modifies the file and deletes the original upon completion. rsed -c "^Tset" -r "Test" -d -q -nocolor Replace the occurances of ^Tset with Test This modifies the file, deletes the original upon completion, runs in quiet mode, and displays no color rsed -c "^Tset" -r "Test" -nf Replace the occurances of ^Tset with Test This modifies the file, creates a copy of the original, and it does not exit when it encounters a failure (such as not having the permission to modify a file).
