    find and replace in every file under a root folder

    Hi all,

    Suppose I want to add 1 single line:

    <script src = "/sample.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    to every single webpage ( preferrably right after the tag <head>) under the
    root folder called public_html in my server, i.e including all the webpages
    in the subfolders as well. Suppose I have sample.js in public_html as well.

    Can someone please spend some of your precious time to help me out with this
    script.??

    Thanks very much in advance

      The way I'd do it is to use UltraEdit's "Replace In Files" dialog.

      Search for:

      <head>^p

      and replace with:

      <head>^p<scri pt src = "/sample.js" type="text/javascript"></script>^p

      Select the directory, make sure sub direcories option is checked, and
      hit replace.

          Thanks Justin,
          That will work for files in my local machine.

          But I want to make it in a script so that I can execute the script on the
          server-side where my files are. Basically I don't want to download all the
          files, replace, and then upload the updated files again.

          Any ideas pls tell me.
          Thanks alot
