Host a tool for automatize the change of year

[Maks3w]

Every year we need to update the copyright for every place where the copyright holder.

These places are usually:

• LICENSE, LICENSE.txt, LICENSE.md files
• Any PHP file.
• Any other kind of text file.

There are two patterns of copyrights:

• First year: Copyright (c) 2015,
• Following years: Copyright (c) 2015-2016,

We want a script tool for automatize the search and replace of the copyright years with the following rules.

1. Files with Following years pattern must update the last year in the range with the actual one.
2. Files with First year pattern must be replaced with the Following years pattern.

Tools can be proposed for to be merged on this repo or to be available for public use in any other repository,

We want you!

#!/bin/bash

YEAR=$(date +"%Y")

for file in $(find . -type f); do
    sed -i 's/\(Copyright (c) [0-9]\{4\}\)\(-[0-9]\{4\}\)\?/\1-'"$YEAR"'/' $file
done;
