We recently changed our server architecture, requiring that all the websites hosted on our server have localhost changed to an IP Address.
Instead of manually editing this content, I decided to find a simple command line way to accomplish my task. Below you will find the result.
find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/findString/replaceString/' {} \;
The preceeding will loop through whichever directory it is run from and locate “findString” and replace it with “replaceString”.

find ./ -type f -exec sed -i ‘s/findString/replaceString/g’ {} \;
Is more correct since /g means globally, the other only grabs the first instance.
