As far as I understood the question, you have to replace relative addresses with correct absolute ones. This means some intelligence in the 'long/thing/with/slashes/' thing. E.g. like this: HTML_DIR=/var/www/html PREFIX=http://www.thesite.com for f in $(find . -type f -name '*.html'); do CPRE=${PREFIX}${f#$HTML_DIR} SEDSTR='s/action="\([^"]*\)/action="'$CPRE'\1/g' sed "$SEDSTR" <$f >$f.new done -- Jon Haugsand, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.norges-bank.no -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
