vi - replacing a relative path with absolute path in a file
Hi,

I have a file with about 60 lines of path:

app-defaults/boxXYZ.......

I want to change this to /my/path/goes/here/app-defaults/boxXYZ, but of course vi doesn't like the regualr :s/old/new/ command.

Is there any other quick way to do this?

Thanks Smilie
