Insert Text at tge beginning of found documents

digidax

Hi,
I have here a document root of a webserver with around 1000 php files and > 4000 other files.
Now I have to add in each php file at the beginning of the file a text line.

So I would work with “search and replace in files”:
Filter would be *.php
Replace is: <?php require_once(“debugger.php”); ?>

But I have nothing for what I can search for to replace it.
How can I do the job?

If not possible with notpad, I would write a bash script.

Thanks, Frank

I think the recent (from 2020) posts in this thread should get you going on your task: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/11987/add-line-of-text-to-beginning-of-multiple-files

Thanks, have used not the right words for the search here but it solves my problem.
