I tried posting this a couple of days ago, but it never showed up. Second try... cat file.xml | sed "s/oldstring/newstring/g" > newfile.xml so for your specific string, you'd have to use some "\" to escape the regular slashes, etc, and end up with: cat file.xml | sed "s/http\:\/\/domain\.com\/images/\/images/g" > newfile.xml -- Bruce Timberlake Sun Cobalt Technology Engineer Sun Microsystems, Inc. _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
