find and replace in every file under a root folder

#1 July 17th, 2005, 05:41 AM

Hi all,

Suppose I want to add 1 single line:

<script src = "/sample.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

to every single webpage ( preferrably right after the tag <head>) under the
root folder called public_html in my server, i.e including all the webpages
in the subfolders as well. Suppose I have sample.js in public_html as well.

Can someone please spend some of your precious time to help me out with this
script.??

Thanks very much in advance

The way I'd do it is to use UltraEdit's "Replace In Files" dialog.

Search for:

<head>^p

and replace with:

<head>^p<script src = "/sample.js" type="text/javascript"></script>^p

Select the directory, make sure sub direcories option is checked, and
hit replace.

Thanks Justin,
That will work for files in my local machine.

But I want to make it in a script so that I can execute the script on the
server-side where my files are. Basically I don't want to download all the
files, replace, and then upload the updated files again.

Any ideas pls tell me.
Thanks alot
