Being forced to use CVS for a current client and the address changed for the remote repo. The only way I can find to change the remote address in my local code is a recursive search and replace.
However, with the sed command I'd expect to work:
find ./ -type f -exec sed -i "s/192.168.20.1/new.domain.com/" {} \;
I get an error for every file:
sed: 1: ".//file/path ...": invalid command code .
I've tried to escape the periods in the sed match/replacement but that doesn't solve anything.
If you are on a OS X, this probably has nothing to do with the sed command. On the OSX version of sed, the -i option expects an extension argument so your command is actually parsed as the extension argument and the file path is interpreted as the command code.
Try adding the -e argument explicitly and giving '' as argument to -i:
find ./ -type f -exec sed -i '' -e "s/192.168.20.1/new.domain.com/" {} \;
See this.
On OS X nothing helps poor builtin sed to become adequate. The solution is:
brew install gnu-sed
And then use gsed instead of sed, which will just work as expected.
alias sed='gsed' to make the alignment between macOS and linux complete.
You simply forgot to supply an argument to -i. Just change -i to -i ''.
Of course that means you don't want your files to be backed up; otherwise supply your extension of choice, like -i .bak.
Simply add an extension to the -i flag. This basically creates a backup file with the original file.
sed -i.bakup 's/linenumber/number/' ~/.vimrc
sed will execute without the error
Probably your new domain contain / ? If so, try using separator other than / in sed, e.g. #, , etc.
find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's#192.168.20.1#new.domain.com#' {} \;
It would also be good to enclose s/// in single quote rather than double quote to avoid variable substitution or any other unexpected behaviour
It is not the case for the OP but it was for me and could help someone else.
If you are using ' to enclose regex, double check the ' characters. I was copying and pasting the script from word processing and it was pasting ' as ’ in bash.
