Re: (2) in-place edit, regex, one-liner (perl -i.bak -pe)

Woo-hoo! -pe instead of -ne did the trick! Thanks a bunch, mdillon.

perl -i.bak -pe 's/img src=\"image\.gif\"/img src=\"\/Images\/image\.gif\"/g' file.html

Here's that syntax sans toothpicks:
perl -i.bak -pe 's///g' *.html

    cheers,

I think you can cut that down a bit. `perl -pe -i.bak 's!(img src=")(image\.gif")!$1/Images/$2!g' *.html` (I haven't tested it, but I think it's okay.)	[reply] [d/l]

I like it, thanks chromatic. May I throw a slight curve in the fairway? A quick dig in The Owl leads me to think something like this will match reference any image of alphanumeric name. How close am I? `perl -i.bak -pe 's!(img src=")(\w+?\.(gif\|jpg\|jpeg\|png)")!$1/Images/$2!g' .html` Update:* The above one-liner was tweaked, and now works. Changes this: `<img src="12345.gif"> <img src="1b3e5.jpg"> <img src="1B3Df.jpeg"> <img src="abcde.png">` [download] To this: `<img src="/Images/12345.gif"> <img src="/Images/1b3e5.jpg"> <img src="/Images/1B3D5.jpeg"> <img src="/Images/abcde.png">` [download] And saves original files as ".bak". cheers, Don striving for Perl Adept (it's pronounced "why-bick")	[reply] [d/l] [select]
