Speaking as not-an-expert on Raku (née Perl6), you'd write the above something like: user@mbook:~$ # One-liner flag set to line-by-line_&_autoprint (-pe) user@mbook:~$ # "s///" substitute adverb set to global (:g) user@mbook:~$ echo "aaa xxx ccc" | raku -pe 's:g/xxx/yyy/;' aaa yyy ccc user@mbook:~$ On Sat, Jul 18, 2020 at 3:40 AM Zenaan Harkness wrote: > # hierarchical "find", handle ALL possible interesting filenames, including > those that won't display: > find target/dir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 perl -p -i[.bak] -e > 's/xxx/yyy/[g];' > ``` Again speaking as not-an-expert on Raku (née Perl6), the second half of the call above doesn't appear too different from your first example. However, if you want to try your hand at matching a filename pattern in a directory, you can try the Raku script posted at: https://examples.p6c.dev/categories/cookbook/09directories/09-06-filenames-matching-pattern.html https://github.com/Raku/examples/blob/master/categories/cookbook/09directories/09-06-filenames-matching-pattern.p6 YMMV. HTH, Bill.
