find and replace xml tag value in file extended

[GOPI KRSNA]

Hi All,

I am just extending the thread started by diwakar with my query.
James R. Ferguson have replied that
# perl -pe 's{(http://)(.+)()}{$1www.dummy.com$3}g' file

By using this perl code we can find and replace partciular tab value in xml file. This is working fine for me also. I want to add some more check like it should also replace url which are staring with https/HTTP/HTTPS(Case sensitive..) so can any one help me how to add OR condtion in this?

Thanks
Gopi

With sed, you just provide two "-e 's///g'".

I prefer to use HP UX command sed:

cat your_file | sed 's/HTT/HTTPS/'

You can always do "OR" commands :)

perl -pe "s/((http|https):\/\/)(?:[^<]+)(<\/Attachmen
tURLprefix>)/$1www.dummy.com$3/g" test.txt

(http|https) can be extended just by adding pipes and the keyword.
If you by some reason would want to match the old url as well you can remove ?: in (?:[^<]+) and $3 will become that address ($4 will be
Output looks like this.
V0001> perl -pe "s/((http|https):\/\/)(?:[^<]+)(<\/Attachmen
tURLprefix>)/$1www.dummy.com$3/g" test.txt
http://www.dummy.com
https://www.dummy.com

Hi Fedric,

Hi Gopi:

> sh: 1: Parameter not set.

Change the double quotes that enclose the command line script to single ones when you run a Perl script from a Unix shell:

# perl -e '...'

...instead of:

# perl -e "..."

...which is what silly Windows wants.
