Batch file editing in the command line

gamewolf · 2009-12-20 20:04:08

I have a large number of files that need to be edited. Only one line in each needs to be changed and its the same line in each file. I am new to bash scripting a could use a little help.

How can I change this line from "prefix=/devel/target" to "prefix=/home/usr/devel"?

Thanks.

sed. Search the web for 'sed find and replace' and the first hit should give you full examples.
