Examples of multi file

If you are in the current folder:

         grep "loft_categories" *.java|awk -F":" '{print "replace.sh \"loft_categories\" \"space_categories\" "$1 }'|uniq|/bin/sh

If you are searching for a specific filename across file system

(below example looks at current path maxdepth of 4 for anything called .java

runs a search and replace on the files for value to value 2

 for file in $(find . -maxdepth 4 -name  \*.java -print); do  
    echo "Searhing : $file;
   replace.sh "pattern1" "pattern2" $file
 done

or using -exec

find . -type f -exec replace.sh "abc123" "ccc123" {} \;
find . -type f -name something.\* -exec replace.sh "abc123" "ccc123" {} \;
find . -type f -name \*.java -exec replace.sh "abc123" "ccc123" {} \;
