Simple VI/Script Question
 
I believe this is a simple question that just has me stumped at the moment.

I am creating a new site and for some dumb reason linked all of the images to the Document root rather than the images directory. Therefore, my image tag looks like <img src="image.gif"> in all of my files. I would like to either use awk, vi, or whatever really that would get the job done to insert "images" before the .gif filename thus it would look like:
<img src="images/image.gif)


I know in VI I can use :g/image.gif/s/image.gif/newName/g
in order to do a replace however since I have many images with multiple names this would not work. I was hoping someone here might have a way to insert "images" before any .gif file.


Thanks for the help in advance!

maybe this will help you:

:%s;<img src=";<img src="images/

simply type :help substitute in vim

Thanks ALOT! Once I saw your solution it seemed so simple that I can't believe I forgot about the wildcard that would do what I needed. With what you gave me it put the *images/ literaly therefore I took that out and it work perfectly.

:%s;<img src=*;<img src=images/


The more I learn the more I love Linux.....

Thanks Again!!!
