I know there are several questions as this one, but mine is specific:



I want to replace the substring: localhost:8000/ with https://www.begueradj.com/ in all the HTML files existing in a folder and its sub folders.



The / and // are causing me problems in this situation.



Any hints?



Edit:



The attempt I tried to work more on is the one described here.



But any other effective approach is welcome.




string replace

  • Could you please elaborate on your approach (sed, find, etcetera)?

  • All you need to do is use different delimters for the sed s/// command: for examples@http://localhost:8000/@https://www.begueradj.com/@

  • Also, I see you have fancy curly quotes for the sed body. Take care to use simple plain quotes there.

There are (at least) two things to improve here:



  • using for on a list of file names generated by another command tends to break in rather interesting ways if file names contain space characters or worse

  • the quotes you use in sed are odd

Try



find . -name '*.html' -print0 | 
 xargs -0 sed -i 's|localhost:8000|https://www.begueradj.com/|'


The -print0 option of find will make sure that all names passed to xargs are NUL-terminated.
