Hi all, When I try the following, perl reads the * as a literal character, instead of my intent as a global value. Anyone see what I am missing?
perl -pi -e "s/<provider-url>file:*<\/provider-url>/REPLACED/g" testfile.txt In the file testfile.txt, the line will be something like this: <provider-url>file:/opt/usr/bin/somewhere</provider-url> I want to replace /opt/usr/bin/somewhere with something else, but I cannot assume what the value between <provider-url>file: and </provider-url> will be. Thanks for any advice. Randy
