Shell Programming and Scripting

I have a SED script that has worked for years, but broke today due to a new variable in a remote file. This is the part of the script that now won't work:

sed "s|/directory/overview.gif|/directory/img/overview2.gif|g" | \

The path /directory/overview.gif is no longer static as it had been for years. The path remains the same - but the gif file does not. It now is /directory/1234567890.gif - except that 10 digit number changes every few hours.

What I want SED to accomplish is to change the path /directory/whatevernumber.gif to /directory/img/overview2.gif

My initial attempt was:

sed "s|/directory/*.gif|/directory/img/overview2.gif|g" | \

But no success. I'm obviously not a frequent SED coder. Is there a simple solution?

Hi,

Try with

Code:

.*

or more accurate

Code:

[0-9]*

Birei,

Thank you for a wonderfully simple fix. The .* solution works great.

Life is calmer again....

Thank you again,
