Shell fun with sed and xargs

I cleaned up my life on the road polluted links by running

rg -l 'my path for \[\[Life on the road\]\]' | xargs -I % sed -i '' 's/\[\[Life on the road\]\]/life on the road/g' "%"

The breakdown is that

• rg -l 'regexPattern' gets a list of files with the pattern in the current directory (my Obsidian vault)
• xargs -I % templateCommand replaces % inside templateCommand with each file passed via stdin
• sed -i '' 's/search/replace/g filePath replaces all instances of search with replace inside filePath

Helpful for Programming.
