Search and replace a line in perl
Hi All,
i can replace a perticular value in sentence using perl.
perl -pi -e 's/old/new/' sample.txt
but i am not able to replace whole string by perl.

file1 contains "jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.147.109.211)(PORT=1526))(CONNECT_DAT A=(SID= MWDBD22)))". i want to change this value with following target value.

target value:"jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(FAILOVER=yes)(LOAD_BALANCE=yes)(ADDRESS=(PROTOC OL=TCP)(HOST=10.144.223.236)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.144.223.237)(PORT=1521)))(CO NNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=RICPCF.shareprod.org)))"

i used the following one. bt it didn't change the value

perl -pi -e "s/jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.147.109.211)(PORT=1526))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID= MWDBD22)))/jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(FAILOVER=yes)(LOAD_BALANCE=yes)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=10.144.223.236)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.144.223.237)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_D ATA=(SERVICE_NAME=RICPCF.shareprod.org)))/" file1
