can't search and replace

badbird

Hi,

Can anyone help? I try search the keyword from _V and replace _VDR at the create.bat file and use below perl command but it doesn't work.

perl -pi -i.bak -e 's/_V/_VDR/' create.bat


After execute the above command and all _V not change to _VDR :
rmtshare \\NASP01\GRP_NetwrkOps = "c:\vol\IA01_V001\GRP_NetwrkOps" /REMARK:"Network Operation"


Best regards,

try removing the i that is right after p in the oneliner you posted and add the "g" modifier to the regexp:

make sure to use the full path to create.bat if necessary

Hi KevinADC,

I don't install perl at windows and just only Perl300.dll, Perl.exe and PerlMsg.dll files. Is any missing? Thanks.

As far as I know you need to install perl. I do not know what perl300.dll is or PerlMsg.dll. perl.exe looks like the main perl executable but there are many other files that come with perl.
