Hi methyl,

sorry for the ambiguity. What I meant by "it" was the first path. I was trying to replace a path within a text file with a different path. I could not get it to work because it involved escapes, a wildcard, and a variable. I doubt it is elegant but it seems to work now. Thanks for following up.
