sed experts. Help

[Jared Greenwald]

there's nothing that says you need to do all the files in one sed
command, right?

something like this should work...

find <dir> -type f -exec sed -i.bak 's/^<?php eval(base64_decode(.*.$//' {} \;

...Not only will it do all the line removal, it will also make backups
(as <file>.bak) so if you screw up you will have the original files to
revert.
