Changing a line in a file

Allowee · #1 04-Jan-2004, 13:04

I have this set of public scripts that I would like update the copyright of.

the line to be changed is
* Copyright (C) 2001-2003 PMS Dev Team

and it should be changed to

* Copyright (C) 2001-2004 PMSys Dev Team

I haven't found a Linux tool to do this yet..

so if anybody knows please let me know

I found something that works good enough..

Code:

for file in *
do
echo $file
        cat $file | sed s/'2001-2003 PMS'/'2001-2004 PMSys'/mg > $file.new &&
        mv $file.new $file
done
