[lug] scripting on linux to replace "find and replace"

Tue Sep 26 11:22:33 MDT 2000

Thanks Michael. Someone sent me an offline message offering to help but if
you'd still have the time I'd love to hear your method also.

1) Create 70 files each containing <head><body><img src="img001.gif">
	So I created slide001.html and now I'm trying to copy that 69
	times incrementing the img src file name ++.

2) I just recieved the clients breakdown of the files. So I have no clue.
	It's .doc so I have to do a conversion to find out. 

This is great. Wait til I tell the guys at work, hehehehe <evil grin>.

Thanks,

John
