Hi

In our html pages, we have the image path as "/dir1/dir2/image.gif".
We are changing the location of the image directory.
So now we wish to do a global search and replace the path. I think we are having trouble with forward slash character.

Please help

Thanks in advance

If this is all in a single file then go into vi and do the following:

:%s/dir1/dir2/image.gif/<new path>

I take that back. This is what you to do:

:%s/\/dir1\/dir2\/image.gif/<new file>

If you're going to use vi for this then instead of using a / character for separations...use another character such as =

For example...instead of

:%s/\/dir1\/dir2\/image.gif/<new file>

use:

:%s=/dir1/dir2/image.gif=<new file>

or

:1,$ s=/dir1/dir2/image.gif=<new file>=g

Using the = for the separator will avoid having to specify the backslash to tell the substitution that the / is part of the substitution.
