Good morning, I have a very important XML file which contains a lot of important metadata. Recently my old computer has become useless so i managed to backup all my data and export all my files.
as part of the backup i exported the metadata via an XML feature. But not realising that the new location would be different for all the files once moved. the XML file has a tag for Location and i need this to change whilst retaining the file name. i was told VIM is perfect for this. so fired fired up my old linux box to give it a go but no avail. please see the below example <key>Location</key><string>file:///Volumes/OLDDRIVE/OTHERFOLDER/aaaaa/bbbbb/ccccc/ddddd/eeeee/20Berksonax.uue</string> i want to find and replace the text between the "file:///" and the last but one "/" (as the last slash will affect the XML </string>.) but retain the file name, extension and end tag </string> to end up with <key>Location</key><string>file:///NewVolume/NEW_SSD/NEWFOLDER2018/0Berksonax.uue</string> -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
