[X-Unix] Help with BBEdit Grep find and replace

[Eric F Crist]

you can do this really easily with a short command in sed, provided  
this text only appears in this one place.

sed -i ".bak" s/W3SVC1823/W3SVC1822/g <filename>

This will replace all instances for the first argument with the second  
argument.  <filename> can contain wild cards, etc.

If you need something more specific, just add text in both arguments  
to make it unique.

sed -i ".bak" s%ogFilePath2=file:///d:\Webtrendslogs\corvette 
\e0182201\W3SVC1823\*.log%ogFilePath2=file:///d:\Webtrendslogs\corvette 
\e0182201\W3SVC1822\*.log%g

You'll note that I've changed the delimiter to a % instead of the /,  
as I'm using the forward and backward slashes in the matched text.
