Replacing URL in a file with space
Hi,
I have a file with a URL text written in it within double quotes e.g.
"http://abcd.xyz.com/mno/somefile.dtd"
I want the above text to get replaced by a single space character.
I tried
cat File1.txt | sed -e 's/("http)*(dtd")/ /g' > File2.txt
But it didnt work out. Can someone suggest an sed command which replaces this url text, including double quotes, with a space.
Thanks
