replacing a url in a file

[dendenners]

Hi there,
I deploy a web app to a unix box from a windows machine quite regularly. The app has a properties file that stores the location of static files. I want to use awk to find the property that holds this value, and change the value to the correct directory for the distributed application. i.e. in my (local) file I have the following property:

STATIC_FILE_LOCATION=

http://dmccarthy/ram/ramstatic

On the unix version I would like this to read

STATIC_FILE_LOCATION=

http://wwwbackup:8091/ram/ramstatic

Would anyone know how I would effect such a change in an awk program so that I could integrate it into my build process? Thanks

awk -v old="dmccarthy" -v new="

http://wwwbackup:8091"

-f url.awk url.txt

#--------------------- url.awk --------------------------

BEGIN {
FS=OFS="/"
}

/^STATIC_FILE_LOCATION/ {
if ($3 == old)
$3 = new;

print
}
