Re: vim - sed search/replace compatibility

Chris,

Thanks very much. I ended up just replacing any possible special
character with '.' I don't know why I didn't do that before. As Homer
Simpson says, "stupid brain!".

Again, thanks!

Mark

Hi,

I'm using this:

:%s/file:\/\/\/C:\\Documents%20and%20Settings\\Tom\\Desktop\\Web%20Pics\\/\/pics\//

to do a search/replace in vim. But using:

ed $1 <<END
1,$
s/file:\/\/\/C:\\Documents\%20and\%20Settings\\Tom\\Desktop\\Web\%20Pics\\/\/pics\//
w
q
END

in a sed script doesn't work. I would be grateful if someone could show
where I'm going wrong.

Thank you in advance.
