replacing all entries of <oldowner> with <newowner> in multiple php files

[NeghVar]

Ok, my employer bought out another company. As we are doing some changes to the website and intranet website. Every php file has the string copyright [email protected] . We want to change this to [email protected].

Is there a command in Centos 7 cli which will replace the old string with the new string in all php files in /var/www recursively?

If I remember my linus right you can use 'find' and pipe that into a 'sed' command.

Screw command line bs and pipes, that's what modern text editors are for

Ultraedit can easily do this. Search->Replace In Files. I would imagine any other Dev Environment could do the same.

find /var/www -type f -exec sed -i 's/[email protected]/[email protected]/g' {} \;

Or go the GUI editor route. It's whatever you're most comfortable with.
