Command line to perform inline edits on multiple files in windows?

Asked by dneill8 in Perl Programming Language

Tags: Perl, ActiveState 5.8

I know this doesn't work but, combined with the question, I think it will point to what I'm trying to do

perl -pi.bak -e "s/AAAA/ZZZZ/g" *.*

This returns a
Can't open *.*: Invalid argument.
error.  Is there any way to feed a wildcarded list of files to a command-line-invoked perl inline edit?Start Free Trial
