Bash find and replace [duplicate]

Question

I have a workflow where I copy the Mac path on the server and replace it with a Windows path. I'm using this bash function in my workflow:

 function nas () { echo -E $1 \ | sed -e 's/^smb://g' \ | sed -e 's/\//\\/g' } query=$1 nas $query

So I can convert this path:

smb://corp.atm.com/files/interdivisional/Graphics/11_DISPLAY/Neutral

to this:

\\corp.atm.com\files\interdivisional\Graphics\11_DISPLAY\Neutral

but I'd like to replace this part

\\corp.atm.com\files\interdivisional\Graphics\11_DISPLAY\Neutral

to this: I:\11_DISPLAY\Neutral

Any ideas?

Thank you!

You don't need sed for this -- bash has built-in search-and-replace support. See BashFAQ #100, How do I do string manipulations with bash? — Charles Duffy
