You can use characters other than slash as the separator in sed commands:

sed -e 's!/one/two/three/four/five/six!/one/two/three/work/three!g'

hi Thomas,

Correct me if i am wrong. I dont think you want to replace ONLY one occurrance of:
/one/two/three/four/five/six

to:
/one/two/three/work/three

it would be too easy to just:

SRV2:home/yogeeraj>cat file
/one/two/three/four/five/six
SRV2:home/yogeeraj>sed "s/four/work/;s/six//;s/five/three/" file
/one/two/three/work/three/
SRV2:home/yogeeraj>

Please post more information on your source file and target destination file.

revert
kind regards
