this gives me an error

sudo find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec sed -i 's/<script type='text/javascript' src='https://cdn.eeduelements.com/jquery.js?ver=1.0.8'></script>//g' {} \;

sed: -e expression #1, char 44: unknown option to 's'

I am open to anything, i just need that pattern removed from every file and cannot seem to get it right. There are too many to go through manually.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your not escaping the `'`'s – Lawrence Cherone Aug 15 '18 at 03:20
Is there another route i could go about finding that specific pattern and removing it from a ton of files. – Maxwell Paradis Aug 15 '18 at 03:27
Could do it in php.. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10422503/php-ssh-regex-script-command-to-delete-identical-malware-code-from-many-files/10422781#10422781 - bit old.. – Lawrence Cherone Aug 15 '18 at 03:33
I may have to try that. Looks like that guy needed it to clean up from malware too. Thanks – Maxwell Paradis Aug 15 '18 at 03:51
