Thanks bro... I did try it on my kali box but:

Code:

~/Exported contacts$ grep -l ':+[89][0-9]\{7\}$' *.vcf | xargs sed -i '/:+[89][0-9]\{7\}$/s/\+/\+9/g'
sed: no input files

I should try to debug your line but i really didn't understand anything

And, yes, the .vcf files are in that folder. Am i missing something ?

edit: busybox gives me another output:

Code:

~/MyDocs/Exported contacts $ grep -l ':+[89][0-9]\{7\}$' *.vcf | xargs sed -i '
/:+[89][0-9]\{7\}$/s/\+/\+9/g'
sed: -i requires an argument

Thanks again buddy !!!
