Find + sed did not replaced IPs, any idea why?
 
Hello, this command:

Code:
find /home/vps/$VMID/etc -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's|$OLDIP|$NEWIP|g'
any idea why this command in a bash script did not replaced IPs?

am i needed to comment out the dots in ips? \.

Hard to tell without your script...what does
Quote:
$VMID
$OLDIP
$NEWIP
expand to?

Also, for variable substitution use double quotes:

Code:
"s|$OLDIP|$NEWIP|g"

Thanks, i will try this (double quotes) in next script run..

UPDATE: and it worked.. double quotes and ; at the end....

vmid is number
ip is IP

Glad it works. For anything 'sed' check this tutorial:
