Perl: Search and replace directories within text files

Erhnam · 03-07-2006, 03:09 AM

Is it possible to search and replace directory locations within files using perl? I tried to do it with:

perl -pi.bak -e "s/C:\Log/C:\Log.v2/" test.txt

Where old location = C:\Log
Where new location = C:\Log.v2

The command above does not work.. Anyone can help me to sort this out? Thanks!

's/C:\\Log/C:\\Log.v2/'

\L sets all following chars to lower case up to an \E

print "\LHELLO THE\ERE\n";
hello theRE
