I need to replace one line in a ton of . json files - eviltoast

I’m updating foundry to a version 11 and it broke an ass ton of my assets cause they’re all “verified version 10”

So all I have to do is change that number, they’re just maps so no need to update anything else, but I have like 400+ files to convert all in individual folders.

Please tell me there’s an easy way to do this. (I’m on Linux obviously)

    This was the response from chatgpt when I coppied OP’s exact post. It wasn’t too far off:

    Yes, there’s a way to automate this process using a script. You can use a combination of the find command and sed to search and replace the version number in all your files. Here’s a sample command you can use:

    find /path/to/assets -type f -name "*.asset" -exec sed -i 's/verified version 10/verified version 11/g' {} +

    Replace /path/to/assets with the actual path to your asset folders. This command will recursively search for .asset files and replace “verified version 10” with “verified version 11”. Make sure to have a backup of your files before running this command, just in case.

    Also, consider testing this on a smaller set of files first to ensure it works as expected before applying it to all 400+ files.
