vi and quoted strings ...
What I am trying to do is change an absolute HTML path to a relative one
... ie
from
file:///home/web/Desktop/current/jpegs/logo.jpeg
to
jpegs/logo.jpeg
In vi the following usually works ...
:1,$s/search text/replace text/g
However because the search text has / in it it brings up the error
message "trailing characters"
I have tried quoting it in ' ' and " " same error message. - any ideas ?
Also on subject of vi, Since I have a lot of pages to change and dont
want to miss any, I used the format ..
vi xxx.html xxxx.html xxxx.html .....
and moved on with
:n
Is there a way to re-do my search string so I don't have to keep
re-typing it in ?
Dave
