OK ... Remember you asked for it. I have at least a dozen files that I want to update. I want to do this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] somedirectory]$ perl -pi~ -e 's/./officers-gasenate.html/http://www.legis.state.ga.us/cgi-bin/peo_list.pl?List=stsenatedl/' ./contactus.html I was hoping to change this code: State House</a> <a class="item2" href="./officers-gasenate.html">Georgia State Senate</a></div> to this: State House</a> <a class="item2" href="http://www.legis.state.ga.us/cgi-bin/peo_list.pl?List=stsenatedl";>Georgia State Senate</a></div> Of course it isn't working. I think it's because of all of those forward slashes. I wonder if I'm trying to drive a nail with a coffee cup.
