Use sed
As far as I understand sed can meet your requirements or you can even do a global replace in vi.
Open the file using vi ,type escape followed by : then type
s/Oldpath/newpath/g .This should change the path through out the file.Also note that if your path contains "/" ,then you will have to escape it using a "\"
For example:
s/old_dir1\/old_dir2\/old_dir3/new_dir1\/new_dir2\/new_dir3/g
alternately you can use sed
sed 's/old_dir1\/old_dir2\/old_dir3/new_dir1\/new_dir2\/new_dir3/g' filename >new_filename
Also if you want to pass the pathnames as argument then you can type a script containing sed which takes the path as arguments
I haven't tried the last solution,but I don't see any major problem with it.
Hope this helps
