I need a Linux command line to search and replace for a string of text
- I have gawk but can't figure it out - it's complicated by the fact
that I have to replace slashes: would like to search for .com// and
replace with .com/ in file sitemap.xml -- help?

Hello davert3-ga,

Try the following: 
sed 's/\.com\/\//\.com\//' file

Let me know if this works for you.

In place of 'file' put sitemap.xml as well as a new file right after.

Try this: 

sed 's/\.com\/\//\.com\//' sitemap.xml >sitemap2.xml

Good luck!

Perfect the first time, thanks!

perl -pi -e 's/(\.com\/)\//\1/'  sitemap.xml
