Jim,
This is a tutorial for using SED. It is just a command in Unix for search and replace within a file without having to open the file. http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html But a really quick example is following Let's say I want to replace FastEthernet0/1 - 0/24 with FastEthernet1/0/1 - 1/0/24. And I want to replace this in every Cat2.txt File in the configuration folder I may have the following folder directory LAB-1/INITIAL/Cat2.txt LAB-1/FINAL/Cat2.txt LAB-2/INITIAL/Cat2.txt LAB-2/FINAL/Cat2.txt LAB-3/INITIAL/Cat2.txt LAB-3/FINAL/Cat2.txt I could use the following command to make the replacement. (One note: the / is a special character so I have to escape it before typing it in.) sed 's/ FastEthernet 0\//FastEthernet1\/0\//g' -I LAB-*/*/Cat2.txt Or if I wanted to replace Serial0/1/0 with Serial0/1 in every file I could do sed 's/Serial0\/1\/0/Serial0\/1/g' -I LAB-*/*/* Or a more basic of not having to escape the special character above replace fi with foo sed 's/fi/foo/g' -I LAB-1/INITIAL/R1.txt The s/ is for search and replace -I is replace inline in file /g is do it globally sed 's/<find string>/<replace with>/g' -I <file or file location> Regards, Tyson Scott - CCIE #13513 R&S, Security, and SP Technical Instructor - IPexpert, Inc.
