Describe Linux/FindGrepAwkSedXargs here.

Find files containing something in Linux

• https://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/07-find/index.html

• regex only part of grep match returned

Search dir for files containing string and replace all of them

##e.g. search for tentant -> tenant
grep -irlZ 'tentant' ./ |  xargs -0  sed -i 's/tentant/tenant/g'

Bash loop over files

• Rather than using find and xargs, use globing to find and process files in bash

  • e.g.

    #By enabling the globstar option, you can glob all matching files in this directory and all subdirectories:
    # Make sure globstar is enabled
    shopt -s globstar
    for i in **/*.txt; do # Whitespace-safe and recursive
        process "$i"
    done
