[Tfug] Quick command line question...

[Jim March]

Oh, and Calvin's method with perl errors out...

jim at jim-lappy ~/Desktop/ERIC/latest-adms $ perl -pi -e
s/regurjitation/regurgitation/g $(find ./ -name '*.TXT' -type f -exec
grep -l regurjitation)
find: missing argument to `-exec'
^C
jim at jim-lappy ~/Desktop/ERIC/latest-adms $ ^C

Any help getting that to run?

Thanks,

Jim
