Hello, I have a file which has lines like this
'/images/gallery/wow_yeah.jpg,

what I want to do is remove the ', and put in front a url, for example
http://madeup.com/images/gallery/wow_yeah.jpg,

I been messing around with sed and awk with no luck, and help would be appricated.

Have problems with (') character.

sed 's/^/http:\/\/www.madeup.com/'

but how do I get rid of ', and my url Right now it looks like
http://www.madeup.com'/images/gallery/wow_yeah.jpg,
I want to get rid of the ',

Two other, simpler, ways:

Code:

sed 's|^\x27|http://someurl.com|' file.txt
sed 's|^'\\''|http://someurl.com|' file.txt
