Ah yes, now the real stumper:
The line:
perl -pi -e 's/file:.*<\/provider-url>/REPLACED/'
testfile.txt
does in fact work fine from the commandline in unix.
However, when it is called from a ksh script, it does not function.
Any ideas? I have trie
tions that I can think of.
Thanks very much.

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/file:*<\/provider-url>/REPLACED/g" testfile.txt
In the file testfile.txt, the line will be something like this:
file:/opt/usr/bin/so

Hello,
I'm trying to search for a word and replace it multiple files at a windows
command prompt with the following:
perl -pi -e 's/wordToFind/replaceWithThisWord/gi'*.fileExtension
This errors out. I've tried to replace the delimiters / with - to no effect.
Does someone know how to alter this
