Working down directories	Can't Post

I managed to get my script working for the current directory, but would like to have the script going down into other directories.

It is to replace a string in text files, but the names of these files can be anything.

I would like to exclude binary (all non text files, if possible).

Code

   
 
perl -pi -e 's/OldStr/NewStr/g' *

Thanks,

Andy.

Use File::Find to search through sub-directories. See `File::Find` for details.

I love Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your thingy.

Perl documentation is available at perldoc.perl.org. The list of standard modules and pragmatics is available in perlmodlib.

Get Markup Help. Please note the markup tag of "code".
