Hi All,

I have requirement to search and replace some URL's existing in files(may be XML's, text files e.t.c.,) with their equivalents

The URL's are like:

http://www.abc.com

Equivalent :: http://www.test.com

http://www.abc.com/test

http://www.abc.com/test2

Now i am taking all these URL's and their equivalents in a hash with key as URL and value as equivalent URL and comparing each file for each URL and replacing

The issue is i have some other URLS in the files which will satisfy the above condition i.e., for Ex: http://www.abc.com/perl/test/

When i go for search and replace of URL http://www.abc.com it is replacing the above new one(i.e.,ttp://www.abc.com/perl/test/) which shouldn't happen

Can you guy's please suggest a better approach for this
