Editing path in a HTML file using Perl
Hello

I want to replace the path to which a hyperlink points to. I have a html file

Code:
<TABLE BORDER CELLPADDING=7, border=0><TR><td>Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM</td><td>Ank_Insert_1</td><td><b>FAILED: 1</b></td><td><A 

href="C:\Some_WebServices\Results\Ankur\Static\Insert\Ankur_Insert_1_Static_Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM.xml">SoapRequest</A></td><td><A 

href="C:\Some_WebServices\Results\Ankur\Response\Insert\Ankur_Insert_1_Response_Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM.xml">SoapResponse</A></td><td><A 

href="C:\Some_WebServices\Results\Ankur\Dynamic\Insert\Ankur_Insert_1_Dynamic_Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM.xml">QueryResponse</A></td><td>1 ENU in 

R1</td></tr><TABLE BORDER CELLPADDING=7,

Now i want to change the path for example

from C:\Some_WebServices\Results\Ankur to E:\dummy\

here's what i have tried so far

Code:
foreach $line (@in){                 #for each element of the array
$line =~ s|'C:\Some_WebServices\Results\Ankur'|'E:\dummy\'|g;   


}

But it does not replace the old path. Although it works with normal string.
Any ideas why it's not working.

ThanksSmilie

How do you run this, it works for me.
Code:
echo '<TABLE BORDER CELLPADDING=7, border=0><TR><td>Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM</td><td>Ank_Insert_1</td><td><b>FAILED: 1</b></td><td><A
href="C:\Some_WebServices\Results\Ankur\Static\Insert\Ankur_Insert_1_Static_Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM.xml">SoapRequest</A></td><td><A
href="C:\Some_WebServices\Results\Ankur\Response\Insert\Ankur_Insert_1_Response_Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM.xml">SoapResponse</A></td><td><A
href="C:\Some_WebServices\Results\Ankur\Dynamic\Insert\Ankur_Insert_1_Dynamic_Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM.xml">QueryResponse</A></td><td>1 ENU in
R1</td></tr><TABLE BORDER CELLPADDING=7,' | perl -pe 's#C:\\Some_WebServices\\Results\\Ankur#E:\\dummy#'
<TABLE BORDER CELLPADDING=7, border=0><TR><td>Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM</td><td>Ank_Insert_1</td><td><b>FAILED: 1</b></td><td><A
href="E:\dummy\Static\Insert\Ankur_Insert_1_Static_Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM.xml">SoapRequest</A></td><td><A
href="E:\dummy\Response\Insert\Ankur_Insert_1_Response_Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM.xml">SoapResponse</A></td><td><A
href="E:\dummy\Dynamic\Insert\Ankur_Insert_1_Dynamic_Jun-10-2013_03_19_07_AM.xml">QueryResponse</A></td><td>1 ENU in
R1</td></tr><TABLE BORDER CELLPADDING=7,

If you want to do changes in the input file itself , use option "i"
Code:
 
perl -i -pe 's#C:\\Some_WebServices\\Results\\Ankur#E:\\dummy#' filename

Can't do inplace edit without backup.

This will take backup of your input file as "filename.bak" and then perform the action
Code:
perl -i".bak" -pe 's#C:\\Some_WebServices\\Results\\Ankur#E:\\dummy#' filename
