For long line length you might get lucky with awk, which in theory is not required by the standards to handle lines exceeding LINE_MAX, but in practice typically does, provided you carve the lines up by specifying a record separator (RS) that creates smaller record lengths (I have not yet come across one that does not). Try:
Code:
awk '/^[Ii][Mm][Gg]/{ sub(/src="[^"]*[\/\\]/, "src=" new "/", $1) }1' new="https://www.unix.com/images" RS=\< FS=\> ORS=\< OFS=\> file

--edit---

I found the following:
Quote:
Whether the variable RS is set to a value other than a <newline> or not, for these files, implementations shall support records terminated with the specified separator up to {LINE_MAX} bytes and may support longer records.
awk: Input Files


So this would suggest in the case of awk LINE_MAX determines the record length, not line length, so it should work (note that is says bytes, not characters)...
