.. just hangs.
sed is unchanged from at least 2013, so it must be something else.
Is is possible that this is related to a change in the Cygwin library?
Thank you very much for your interest.
I was premature in my assertion that sed "hangs".
But it takes a crazy crazy time.
I was working on a directory of 6000 text files when I reported as above.
This is what happened with a directory of <90 files:
~> find archive -type f | wc
87 87 1698
~> time find archive -type f | xargs sed -i 's/string1/string2/g'
real 1m2.587s
user 0m1.200s
sys 0m12.884s
More than a minute for 90 files is just extraordinary.
Anybody else having a similar experience?
(Thank you again.)
Fergus
Not at all
$ find test -type f |wc
177 177 5119
$ time find test -type f | xargs sed -i -e "s/Octave/Pippo/g"
real 0m5.149s
user 0m0.170s
sys 0m1.183s
