guessity · 11-18-2011, 04:59 AM

I am trying to replace

Code:

(<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>)

to

Code:

Google

with sed. I did the following and it did not work for some reason -

Code:

find /home/tst -type f -exec sed -i "s#(<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>)#Google#g" {} \;

any idea where I went wrong?

Sorry I figured it out. Mods can delete the thread.

Code:

find /home/tst -type f -exec sed -i 's#(<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>)##g' {} \;
