How to use the name of the file with sed in a find expression

Question

Trying to answer Using Bash/Perl to modify files based on each file\'s name I ended in a point in which I don\'t know how to use find and sed all t

Answer 1

I really think the issue is that your files name contains a / that is why sed believes it start the options strings.

Replace / by @ in you sed command would do the job.

I try that on Linux BASH and it work perfectly

find . -type f -exec sed -i -e "s@text@test plus {}@g" {} \;

Answer 2

find would return pathnames (relative or absolute) depending upon the path you specify.

This would conflict with the delimiter you've specified, i.e. /. Change the delimiter for sed and you should be good:

find . -type f -exec sed -i "s|text|text plus {}|g" {} \;

EDIT: For removing the leading ./ from the paths, you can try:

find . -type f -exec sh -c '$f={}; f=${f/.\//}; sed -i "s|text|text plus ${f}|g" {}' \;

I'm certain that better solutions might exist ...
