One more question, How can I make this command work recursively. I tried 
just adding "find <dir> -type f exec"  to the front of the command but 
it gives an error...

find: missing argument to `-exec'

I've also added the file exstension to Jarreds command but that also 
gives an error...

find: paths must precede expression.

How can I combine recursive function and the file extension? There are 
several .html and .cfg files that don't need to fixed, so I would like 
to avoid them if possible.

Thanks,
Rick
