A little SSH script to search for a name in All files on your server.

Copy and Paste the code below and save it in a file called:

replacename.php 

<?php echo shell_exec(' #!/bin/bash find ./ -type f -exec sed -i \'s/oldname/newname/\' {} \; '); ?>

 

OR If that does not work...try this:

 

<?php echo shell_exec(' #!/bin/bash perl -pi -w -e \'s/oldname/newname/g;\' $( grep -rl \'oldname\' ) '); ?>

Run it in the main directory, or in just the directory you want to search and replace a name in all the files in the directory on your server or your web host account.Replace "oldname" and "newname".
