Bulk replace email addresses with SED ?

Hi,

Recently we 'reshuffled' our mailservers so a lot of email addresses have changed. There are still a lot of old adresses on our websites. We do have a list with all 'new@address.com' - 'very@old.address.com' translations. Is it possible to use sed with this list to replace all old addresses in the html pages or would this require more serious programming ? I can reformat this list without any problems if it needs to be in a specific format/use specific delimiters.

Thanks,

Create a sed script such as conv.sed (one conversion per line):

Code:

s/alpha@who\.com/nalpha@whom\.com/g

s/beta@who\.com/ralph@harry\.com/g

s/gamma@who\.com/ford@cork\.org/g

s/old/new/g

You have to escape the periods to avoid regular expression interpretation.
Then run the command:

Code:

sed -f conv.sed yourfile.html
