[SOLVED] sed help please...

Question

I'm trying to modify an XFWM theme, and need to run sed to replace colors with a phrase to make it "blend in" with the GTK theme. Unfortunately, it isn't working. Can anyone help?
Here is what I am trying to run:
sed -e 's/\#E6E6E6/\#E6E6E6 s active_color_2/g' *-active.xpm
The result of that gives me something similar to running cat *-active.xpm.

Answer 1

the above should work but i'd script it:
edit that, the above will work and will work better, faster and more efficiently...
but i'd still script it
#!/bin/bash
find ./ -name '*-active.xpm' | while read file; do
cp $file $file.orig
cat $file | sed 's/\#E6E6E6/\#E6E6E6 s active_color_2/g' > temp
mv temp $file
done
