From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I need to replace one line in a ton of . json files (hexbear.net)

I'm updating foundry to a version 11 and it broke an ass ton of my assets cause they're all "verified version 10"

So all I have to do is change that number, they're just maps so no need to update anything else, but I have like 400+ files to convert all in individual folders.

Please tell me there's an easy way to do this. (I'm on Linux obviously)

find /path -name *.json -exec sed -i 's/from/to/g' {} ; -print

This, unless you want to mess with jq

Yeah, jq doesn't edit files, right? You'd have to have temp files or something? jq is so good handling json, I wish there was a way of using it to edit files.

You really want to do it that way anyway.. process the files to a new set of files. That way when you screw it up going back is just deleting the new files, fixing and rerunning.
