A couple of scripts can be used when you change the name of your ROS package "foo" to "bar".
1: cd /tmp && cp -R `rospack find foo` .
2: (shopt -s nullglob && _() { for P in "$1"*/; do Q="${P//[Ff][Oo][Oo]/bar}"; mv -- "$P" "$Q"; _ "$Q"; done } && _ ./)
3: find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g'
Line by line:
- At first line, you copy the entire package to somewhere safe; this prevents changing CVS data (.git, .svn etc.) without knowing.
- 2nd line is influenced by this thread
- So as the 3rd line (this thread)
If you want to change the packages you've already "released", see this thread.
----
Update 2024/10/21 If the targeted files are under (a local) git repository, there's much more user-friendly command (thanks to superuser.com#1110337).
git grep -lz foo | xargs -0 sed -i '' -e 's/foo/bar/g'
