how to find and replace (sub) a pattern match in multiple files?
I need to change a pattern match on multiple lines in multiple files. How do I do this? Say for example: Files a.java, b.java, c.java... have hard coded passwords that need to be changed and the password could be on multiple lines not within a set column. Thanks very much for any assistance.
