I want to do a string replace against the following lines. I DONT want to replace any occurrence that isn’t displayed within a URL format so secure.XYZ.ab.mydomain.com on a line by itself or in variable format ($myvar = secure.XYZ.ab.mydomain.com) SHOULDN’T be replaced.

https://secure.XYZ.ab.mydomain.com -> https://secure.future.qa.mydomain.com

The problem I’m having is, XYZ and ab could be a combination of 3 different variables. So to make it easier, I want to replace everything between https:// and the period before .mydomain.com.

Forgot to add, I’ll be looping through files in a directory.

    You could:

    echo "https://secure.XYZ.ab.mydomain.com" | sed -e 's+https://[^/]*\.mydomain.com+https://secure.future.qa.mydomain.com+'

    If it’s in a file, you could:

    sed -ie 's+https://[^/]*\.mydomain.com+https://secure.future.qa.mydomain.com+g' <filename>
