Example: Replacing /var/named domains IP addresses with perl

Sometimes you need to replace an instance of one string in a file with another string. If there’s multiple occurrences, this can be a pain. Here’s a simple example of how you can use perl to replace all instances of an IP address for a moved a domain.

To do it:

perl -i.bak -pe “s/0.0.0.0/1.2.3.4/g” /var/named/domain.com.db

This example shows how to change from IP 0.0.0.0 to 1.2.3.4
This will also makes a backup of /var/named/domain.com.db as /var/named/domain.com.db.bkp

If you’re feeling ballsy and do not want backup run:

perl -i -pe “s/0.0.0.0/1.2.3.4/g” /var/named/domain.com.db

One alternate way would be (without perl):

replace 0.0.0.0 1.2.3.4 — /var/named/domain.com.db
