can any one help me how can i integrate perl with sed ?
what i am trying to do is convert some URL's for ex:

/home/temp/myfolder/welcome.html
/usr/local/bin/auto.sh
/home/temp/classes/index.html

into URLs like this:


temp/myfolder/welcome.html /***** removing the root folder of each URl ***/
local/bin/auto.sh /**** but the root's are not the same for all ***/
temp/classes/index.html /**** this URL's are dynamically generated **/
/***its not fixed or not the same for all the URL's */

does any one know how can i do this?

looking forward for some good answers !!!

( USING PERL & sed/awk/any other regular expression method)

Well, You say random, but there are only so many root directories.

so I would do this. % cat orig.html |sed "s/\home//g" |sed "/\/local//g" > new.html. Keep piping it through sed to search and replace all occurances. Or you can write a while loop in perl and do the same, one line at a time.

#!/usr/bin/perl

while(<>){
$_=~s/^.*?\/home//g;
print $_;
}
