sed experts. Help

[Jared Greenwald]

Don't forget that when using the -exec option to find {} is the
currently-found file/object and you need to end your command with \;

If you were to be just looking for php files to update...

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

Where <dir> is the top of the directory where all of this is residing.
