Instructions for using the script

1. First upload the script to the target directory in which you want to search and replace.

2. Modify the variable $targetDirectory to the directory path you want to scan, this should be relative to the directory in which this file resides.

3. Modify $remove accordingly.

    $remove = true; //This will search and remove the matching pattern.
    $remove = false; //This will only search and show the results for matching pattern.

4. The Target Extension for the files you want to find in your directory.

     $targetExtension = '.php';

5. The Regex Pattern you want to find.

    $pattern = '/(eval\(base64.*?\))\);/';
