Hello!Just curious, what do I need to do to be able to execute this script like: $ text-replace old_string new_string I find it a bit inconvenient having to edit the script for every thing I need to replace.

Why not open the file with vim and then :.,$s/old/new/ Of course that's not scriptable... Maybe you should interpolate the first and the second argument into your regexes in the substitution with sed, so you get "s/argument1/argument2/" Perl might help though. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
