I have a website directory where I need to change all hardcoded links from one domain to another. Looking for a single (grep? sed?) bash command that will allow me to change all occurrences of text in all files in the directory?

s/search/replace/g — this is the substitution command. The s stands for substitute (i.e. replace), the g instructs the command to replace all occurrences.
Remove all the files you don't want to edit by selecting them and pressing DEL, then right-click the remaining files and choose Open all. Now go to Search > Replace or press CTRL+H, which will launch the Replace menu. Here you'll find an option to Replace All in All Opened Documents.
Search All Files in Directory To search all files in the current directory, use an asterisk instead of a filename at the end of a grep command. The output shows the name of the file with nix and returns the entire line.
The following will do it:
sed -i 's/old_link/new_link/g' file... Don't forget to escape any slashes, dots, and any other regex special chars in the link addresses with a backslash.

Also, try:
perl -p -i -e <regex> <folder> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
