.mn2/msn

Does anyone know of a way to change the tag in a large number of .msn/mn2 files from anarchy to normal in a faster way than manually editing them individually.

Thank You

Get a Linux-Machine ^^

Code: Select all

replace anarchy normal -- *.mn2

That command might work in CygWin (Windows)

any good text editor would that also

find in files...

Notepad++ perhaps

Nahh...

I didn't know \"replace\", but I just checked and I have it too... as part
of MySQL. So for Cygwin users: it wouldn't work unless for some reason
you have a Cygwin version of MySQL. This should always work though:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

for f in *.{msn,mn2}; do
  sed -i -e '/^type/s/anarchy/normal/i' $f
done

No program that might work-Im talking hundreds of files@same time

Try ReplaceEm.

I used that program several years ago to do mass changes on HTML files. I haven't had a cause to use it in a really long time, but it was super useful back then! Sounds like what you need.
