I created a file junk1: [linush@lh4 ~]$ cat junk1 /usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl /usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl /usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl /usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl Then I copied and pasted the exact command you gave above: [linush@lh4 ~]$ sed 's/\/usr\/bonsaitools\/bin\/perl/\/usr\/bin\/perl/g' junk1 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl It appears to work just fine. Are you aware that sed will not make changes to the file, but rather sends the updated contents to stdout unless you use -i? -- C. Linus Hicks <lhicks at nc dot rr dot com>
