February 12th, 2007 by chris

I found a useful article that explains how one can use emacs to find/replace in several files at once:

    Sounds useful, thanks, I’ll take a look. Without it I’d normally use a perl one-liner:

    perl -p -i -e ’s/pattern/replacement/g’ file1 file2 …

    (or “-i.bak” if you’re feeling a little more timid/sensible)
