I’ve already got a fully AppleScript find & replace script but since unix tends to be less process intensive, I’ve been trying to see if there’s a better way to script find & replace for a directory.
Set myFind to “string.to.find”
Set myReplace to “new.string”
Tell application “Finder” to set myPath to the POSIX path of (target of front window as alias)
Do shell script (“echo myTarget = “ & myPath)
—// this is where I fall down
Do shell script “grep -l “ & myFind & space & myPath & “ | xargs sed -i ‘s/“ & myFind & “/“ & myReplace & “/g”
I’m not set on this code, if there’s a simpler better way to change multiple files in the target folder with the simple info of Path Find Replace
Id be very happy to be put right
Thanking you In advance
