style="padding-left: 30px;">Here the simple one.<br
/> You have several files and you want a word replaced in all of them.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;"><code>sed -i 's/apache2/httpd/g' files*.conf</code></p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">This will modify the file matching the pattern <code>files*.conf</code> replacing &#8220;apache2&#8243; with &#8220;httpd&#8221;<br
/> Removing -i will print the result on the console.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;"><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">Now, the really useful one, the one that will save you a lot of time.<br
/> The problem you have is: 100+ config files that needs to be modified by adding four lines in a special position in the files.</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;"><code>sed -i '/RewriteEngine/i \<br
/> \n&lt;Location \/aaa&gt;\n\tProxyPass ajp\:\/\/127.0.0.1\:8019\/aaa\n\tProxyPassReverse ajp\:\/\/127.0.0.1\:8019\/aaa\n\&lt;\/Location\&gt;\n' files*.conf</code></p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">-i will modify the files by adding before &#8220;<code>RewriteEngine" the text:</code></p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;"><code><br
/> </code>empty line<br
/> &lt;Location/aaa&gt;<br
/> &lt;tab&gt;ProxyPass ajp://127.0.0.1:8019/aaa<br
/> &lt;tab&gt;ProxyPassReverse ajp://127.0.0.1:8019/aaa<br
/> &lt;/Location&gt;<br
/> emptyline</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;"><p>Now think about adding these lines in every single file, one by one, from 1 to 100, each in an exact position, some of the configs having two or more sections to be added.</p><p>Piece of cake with sed.</p><p
