All, How would I use sed to erase %output=pdf from any file ending with .tex in the current directory and any subdirectories below it?

I don't know about sed, but here is a find/perl solution that would work on linux:

find . -name \*.tex -exec perl -npi -e 's/%output=pdf/%/g' \{\} \;

Delete the line containing %output=pdf:

$ find . -name "*.tex" | xargs sed -i '/%output=pdf/d'

Remove only text "output=pdf":

$ find . -name "*.tex" | xargs sed -i 's/%output=pdf/%/'

Try it with a test file before run over all your TeX files :)

I'll post on the MacOSX-TeX list and see what's up with this command. On Dec 18, 2005, at 11:26 AM, Radhelorn wrote:

Strange. Command is valid and works for me.

It "finds" ok, just something later goes wrong: IntermediateAlgebraText $ find . -name "*.tex" | xargs ./book.tex ./bookenv.tex ./chapter1/chapter1.tex ./chapter1/ section1.tex ./chapter1/section2.tex ./chapter1/section3.tex ./ chapter2/chapter2.tex ./chapter3/chapter3.tex ./chapter3/junk.tex ./ chapter3/section1.tex ./chapter3/section2.tex ./chapter3/ section3.tex ./chapter3/section4.tex ./chapter3/section5.tex ./ chapter4/chapter4.tex ./chapter5/chapter5.tex ./chapter6/ chapter6.tex ./chapter7/chapter7.tex ./chapter8/chapter8.tex Aha! Got it! Needs the switch -e. IntermediateAlgebraText $ find . -name "*.tex" | xargs sed -i -e '/% output=pdf/d' On Dec 18, 2005, at 11:34 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Depending on your shell, you may want to use *.tex without quotes?
