The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I love regex but sometimes I get crazy trying to figure out things... I hope you can help me...
here is the thing, I have to find all the ',' inside a large database dumb, but this ',' are only in this kind of mask:
$ANYNUMBER-ANYQTD,ANYNUMBER-ANYQTD$
Actualy the $ is not the regex end of line special operator. (I had to use something like $ to avoid the " and ' inside text fields that were dumped).
Here is the regex Im trying (Im in vim):
%s/\$[0-9]+[,][0-9]+\$/I DONT KNOW HOW TO CHANGE ONLY THE DOT/g
well... I couldnt understand why the above dont even match any line if I have lines like $0,01$, $100,14$ and want they to became $0.01$, $100.14$ and so on...

thks!
Use (1st part of exp) (second part of exp) / $1.$2 / I believe that is what you will want to do. This will break the exp into two delimited. so 1,00 would be $1 = 1 and $2 = 00.
Hey, thanks! The SED example worked fine here, but the VI example didnt, althought it worked was not the right way, like describle in the mask and like the way sed did...
