TheDeadCell@lemmy.sdf.orgtoLinux@lemmy.ml•I need to replace one line in a ton of . json files

1 year agoLooked at your github. I would do this in a script:
#!/bin/bash
find /base/path/of/files -type f -name "module.json" > ListOfFilePaths.txt
for i in ListOfFilePaths.txt
do
sed -i "s/oldtext/newtext/g" $i
done
Once again, probably not the most efficient way to do it, but it might work.
This was the response from chatgpt when I coppied OP’s exact post. It wasn’t too far off:
Yes, there’s a way to automate this process using a script. You can use a combination of the
find
command andsed
to search and replace the version number in all your files. Here’s a sample command you can use:find /path/to/assets -type f -name "*.asset" -exec sed -i 's/verified version 10/verified version 11/g' {} +
Replace
/path/to/assets
with the actual path to your asset folders. This command will recursively search for.asset
files and replace “verified version 10” with “verified version 11”. Make sure to have a backup of your files before running this command, just in case.Also, consider testing this on a smaller set of files first to ensure it works as expected before applying it to all 400+ files.
