Sed, how replace specific symbols between two patterns
I have a big xmltv file with many lines like:
I don't know why my webserver reject some names of png files, so I am trying to rename it.
I am trying to use the command sed but I am really bad about.
I want replace the spaces, the symbol +, the symbol ? and others with underscore _
I tought to use like a pattern the strings dsgbnjfdc65657/ and .png and modify the spaces, the symbol + and ? between, but I had back only errors...
I tried also with xmlstarlet to replace "spaces" with "_" but also I had only errors
I really prefer if I can use sed
Can someone help me?
