Hi folks,

I need to go through a whole tree checking every (html) file and replacing every instance of "\" with "/". Anyone got a ready made script?

find . -type f -name '*.html' -print0 | xargs --null \ perl -i.bak -pe 'tr:\\:/:' will leave the original files in filename.bak The -print0 to find, and --null to xargs mean that strange filenames with spaces etc would work too. Nigel.
