Hey Jon,

Actually, yes you did. When I first tried it[1], it created
those .txt.tmp files which confused me a little since I was
trying to rid of that creation of tmp files step. But then I
noticed how the syntax varied, and gave this a shot which
worked:

for i in `grep -Frl 207.106.32.241 * | grep html$`; do awk '{ gsub("207.106.32.241","ancss.org"); print > FILENAME}' $i ; done

This should search for all instances of that IP recursively
from the current working directory, take only the filenames
ending in html, and run that awk code which globally
replaces the IP with the host within the file, which was all
I wanted :-D

Turns out I was just misunderstanding the usage of the
'FILENAME' file handle in the original[2]. 

Thanks!


[1] awk '{ gsub("207.106.32.241","ancss.org"); print > FILENAME ".tmp"}' *.html
[2] for i in `grep -Frl 207.106.32.241 * | grep html$`; do awk '{ gsub("207.106.32.241", "ancss.org"); print }' $i >> $i.t3mp ; mv $i.t3mp $i; done
