Re: How do I make a script to change and recompile source code in Informix?

Depends on what you mean by "simple change"; we had a script that would copy all .per and .4gl files from the "development" directory to the "production" directory, filtering them through sed to change the database name, e.g. cd $DEVEL for i in *.4gl *.per do sed "s/DATABASE develop/DATABASE production/g" $i > $PROD/$i done After that, the script would change to $PROD (source directory for production programs) and run Make on all the makefiles we generated from SYSPGM4GL using a 4gl program.
