reborg, thank you for analizing my solution.
You are absolutely right when you said that I didn't bind to the start of
the line with caract (^) -- when I tought about the solution I was only
looking at the data which every line always begins with "./".
As for the other observation, the solution does not replace "every occurrence"
of "/" in the line -- it only replaces the first one, as I didn't suffixed the "s"
command with "g" -- do you agree?
reborg, you are a real player here -- thank you.

replace
REPLACE(1) General Commands Manual REPLACE(1)
NAME
replace - A utility program that is used by msql2mysql, but that has more general applicability as well. replace changes strings in place
in files or on the standard input. Uses a finite state machine to match longer strings first. Can be used to swap strings.
USAGE
replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... -- [files]
or
replace [-?svIV] from to from to ... < fromfile > tofile
SYNOPSIS
replace [-?|-I] [-s] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
replace
-?|-I info
-s silent
-v verbose
EXTRA INFO
Special characters in from string:
^ Match start of line.
$ Match end of line.
Match space-character, start of line or end of line. For a end the next replace starts locking at the end space-character. A
alone in a string matches only a space-character.
EXAMPLE
this command swaps a and b in the given files:
shell> replace a b b a -- file1 file2 ...
