I modified the script to be the following:

###################################

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -lt 4 ] ; then
echo
echo Wrong number of parameters.
echo Try again using the following format:
echo “myreplace ‘filepattern’ findstring replacestring” “seperationstring”
echo
echo example:
echo “myreplace ‘*.txt’ \”My dog tries to eat the neighbour’s cat.\” \”My dog tries to eat the neighbour’s cat food.\” ‘#’”
echo
exit 1
fi

echo All instances of :
echo $2
echo
echo will be changed to:
echo $3
echo
echo in the following files:
find . -name “$1″ -exec grep -l “$2″ {} \;
echo

IFS=$’\n’

for i in $(find . -name “$1″ -exec grep -l “$2″ {} \;)
do
echo “working on file ” “$i”
# uncomment when you confirm that it works
#cp “$i” “$i.myreplace_saved”
#sed “s$4$2$4$3$4g” “$i.myreplace_saved” > “$i”

# rm $i.myreplace_saved # coment this line to save backup.
done

echo
echo All changes have been made.

Good stuff. I always find myself praising Articulate for customer service and social presence when I tell people about the software.

You guys are leaders in #6 on your list: embracing social media. I certainly admire it and the feedback I get from your team.

And I really enjoyed this ‘7 Secrets’ post; it’s an excellent reminder of what’s important.

Thanks Gabe!
