Can you mass edit all files returned in a grep?

Question

I want to mass-edit a ton of files that are returned in a grep. (I know, I should get better at sed).

So if I do:

grep -rnI \'xg_icon-*\'
         


        

Answer 1

You can do it without any processing of the grep output! This will even enable you to go the the right line (using :help quickfix commands, eg. :cn or :cw). So, if you are using bash or zsh:

vim -q <(grep foo *.c)
