I need to replace one line in a ton of . json files

I'm updating foundry to a version 11 and it broke an ass ton of my assets cause they're all "verified version 10"

So all I have to do is change that number, they're just maps so no need to update anything else, but I have like 400+ files to convert all in individual folders.

Please tell me there's an easy way to do this. (I'm on Linux obviously)

Not sure but you can always ask chatgpt. Probably using something like sed or awk
- I would love to see what it spit out if you feed it exactly what OP asked.
  
  This was the response from chatgpt when I coppied OP's exact post. It wasn't too far off:
  
  Yes, there's a way to automate this process using a script. You can use a combination of the find command and sed to search and replace the version number in all your files. Here's a sample command you can use:
  
  find /path/to/assets -type f -name "*.asset" -exec sed -i 's/verified version 10/verified version 11/g' {} +
  
  Replace /path/to/assets with the actual path to your asset folders. This command will recursively search for .asset files and replace "verified version 10" with "verified version 11". Make sure to have a backup of your files before running this command, just in case.
  
  Also, consider testing this on a smaller set of files first to ensure it works as expected before applying it to all 400+ files.
  
  Cool. Thanks for posting that.
