Re: Replacing text

pwd | sed "s/\/home/\/httpd/\/vusers/\/*.fileburst.com/\/web_users/\/chris2/\/chris.fileburst.com/\/web_users/\/chris2"
This is what I tried and it did not work, can you show me the flaw?

Re: Replacing text

If you use code tags your post would be a little easier to read. Try this
Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. pwd | sed "s/\/home\/httpd\/vusers\/*.domain.com\/web_users\/chris2/\/chris.domain.com\/web_users\/chris2/g"

I am not sure, but the "*" might not wotrk with sed. let me know if this works
