Find and Replace in Unity Assets

Directly change serialized field name LevelId to levelId in all scenes. Requires Unity Force Text serialization.

Requires GNU tools. Tested on OSX. Note Windows @code users can run WSL Linux directly in the editor terminal!

Find Product Scenes

find -type f -wholename '*/Assets/Sinkr/*.unity' -exec ls -la '{}' \;
find -type f -wholename '*/Assets/Sinkr2/*.unity' -exec ls -la '{}' \;
find -type f -wholename '*/Assets/Test/*.unity' -exec ls -la '{}' \;
find -type f -wholename '*/products/Sinkr/*.unity' -exec ls -la '{}' \;

find -type f -wholename '*/Assets/Sinkr/*.unity' -exec grep 'propertyPath: LevelId' '{}' \;
find -type f -wholename '*/Assets/Sinkr2/*.unity' -exec grep 'propertyPath: LevelId' '{}' \;
find -type f -wholename '*/Assets/Test/*.unity' -exec grep 'propertyPath: LevelId' '{}' \;
