How to replace the beginning of the img src tag

krelian

I moved some of my files into a new directory in order to clean it up, and found that it causes all of my img tags to display incorrectly. How do I go abouts replacing the <img src= with <img src=/ in all of the documents in that folder?
Lets see, its all template driven.

And as an example, here is what it looks like... kinda.
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/newdir/images/whateverimage.gif">
when it should and did look like
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/whateverimage.gif">

Also, because of how it is programmed, the only way to do it is either figure out how to replace it, or to upload all of my images into that new directory, which would be very space consuming. Please help!

open any texeditor (such as notepad) and do a find and replace.

find: <img src=

replace: <img src=/

No, I mean that I cannot do that. This should help out: this is a new directory off of my vBulletin.

why can't you do it?

I don't understand what you mean? I cannot open any of the templates in a text editor, as they are all in the db. I just want to alter what the db outputs for my php page.

oh, you didn't mention this was in a db. So the actual html is stored in the database? The only thing i can think of is use mysql's replace function: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/String_functions.html (assuming you're using mysql).
