        Yup, lol…
Wish I understood this! What is the line that does the search called? What do I 
look up to read up on this?
  Thanks!

    A quick solution....May be you can enhance it more as you like..

     

    @discarr = ('/vmfs/volumes/467f06a5-7d59c067-35cb-0007e9153886/AN-DC 
(Win2003 Ent x64)/AN-DC (Win2003 Ent 
x64).vmx','/vmfs/volumes/467f06a5-7d59c067-35cb-0007e9153886/AN-DC (Win2003 Ent 
x64)/Disc 1.vmdk','/vmfs/volumes/467f06a5-7d59c067-35cb-0007e9153886/AN-DC 
(Win2003 Ent  x64)/Disc 2.vmdk');

    $replace = "REPLACESTRING";

    foreach $disc(@discarr){
  print "Before $disc \n";
  $disc =~ s/\/vmfs\/volumes\/(.*?)\//\/vmfs\/volumes\/$replace\//gi;
  print "After $disc \n";
}

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Thanks,

    I have an array with the following data in it:

/vmfs/volumes/467f06a5-7d59c067-35cb-0007e9153886/AN-DC (Win2003 Ent x64)/AN-DC 
(Win2003 Ent x64).vmx
/vmfs/volumes/467f06a5-7d59c067-35cb-0007e9153886/AN-DC (Win2003 Ent x64)/Disc 
1.vmdk
/vmfs/volumes/467f06a5-7d59c067-35cb-0007e9153886/AN-DC (Win2003 Ent x64)/Disc 
2.vmdk

I always deal with indices' 1 through to the end in the function in question, 
so it's easy to get the second indices (First disc) and so on. I need to 
manipulate the path though now, I am wanting to search for *all* the text 
following the third "/" and before the fourth "/" and replace it with a string 
variable. So far, this is seeming to be way over my current capacity :)

Can anyone point me to the topic/method I should use so I may read up on build 
this myself?

Thanks!
