Hi everyone, can some one tell me what i am doing wrong here :- Input string in text file (myfile.patch) +++ linden\indra\newview\llcontroldef.cpp 2007-08-08 18:12:32.312500000 +0200 I want to fix the dos paths to unix paths My command :- perl -pi -w -e 's/linden\\indra\\[a-zA-Z0-9]*\\[a-zA-Z0-9.]*/linden\/indra\/%1\/%2 /g' myfile.patch The results :- +++ linden/indra/%1/%2 2007-08-08 18:12:32.312500000 +0200 I though %1 etc were substituted for the regex match but it just prints %1 literaly. What am i doing wrong? I want to run this on a whole bunch of files to fix the paths so i need to do this from the command line or a script.
