I am trying to replace all occurrences of a windows path such as "C:\Dir 1\Dir 2\Dir with more spaces" to a similar path, and have it case insensitive, and I can't make it work.
Anyone got an idea? I am hoping the syntax is compatible with Sed as my script has to be ran in two mode's, one being by hand with Sed :(

Thanks!

There are two ways (that I can think of off the top of my head) to
make a regex case insensitive: the i option and using character
classes:

$dir =~ s/C:\\Dir 1\\Dir 2\\Dir with more spaces/$newpath/i;

or

$dir =~ s/C:\\[Dd][Ii][Rr] 1\\[Dd][Ii][Rr] 2\\[Dd][Ii][Rr]
[Ww][Ii][Tt][Hh] [Mm][Oo][Rr][Ee] [Ss][Pp][Aa][Cc][Ee][Ss]/$newpath/;

I don't understand why you would run sed. Perl can be run from the
command line by hand as well.
