I need put some text into some jsp files on a unix o.s. How can i get this thing done in one command. Because it's taking lot of time to open all the files and to paste the text in them. This is really urgent for me please help me out here. I have like more than 100 of jsp files. Thanks a lot, Suja.
can you be more specific? such as: - where does the text need to go, is there a marker of some sort in the JSP files that you could identify? - should the text be at the start of the JSP? the end of the JSP? - what is the text? - are the JSP files easy to find or scattered? If there is some sort of uniformity in the task at hand it should be easily automated by using a script. But I think you'll need to offer more detail about what you need to do before anyone can offer a solution.
Thanks a lot for the reply. It's a html comment actually. I need to add a comment in the html portion of a jsp file. I am putting that after the title tag.The jsp files can be found easily they are all in the same directory. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Suja.

so to confirm, you want to put an html comment directly after the title tag in all cases, so for example: < title>My Title Here< /title>< !-- your block of text, the bit you want to insert --> ... other html stuff and jsp tags here ... is that correct?

here's a quick 'n' dirty way to do that, in the form of a shell script using sed for the text substitution. It should work with most unix boxen. It assumes that you have write access to all of the jsp files.
