In the Linux environment, it is pretty easy to loop through a particular type of files to find and replace a particular string using shell script. I hope this helps.
| The following will give you an idea how to get it done. You need to replace all the {value} with the corresponding values. |
#!/bin/bash
varReplace={string_to_replace}
find ./{the_folder}/ -name \*.{file_extension} -type f -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file; do
echo "Processing $file"
sed -i 's/{string_to_look_for}/'$varReplace'/g' $file
done
| The following example will go through all the files with extension (.js) in the folder 'output', find the string '{my_version}' and replace it with the string 'v1.0.122'. |
#!/bin/bash
varReplace=v1.0.122
find ./output/ -name \*.js -type f -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file; do
echo "Processing $file"
sed -i 's/{my_version}/'$varReplace'/g' $file
done
