I have a requirement to replace "\" with "/" in only the 2nd field of the input file which has 2 fields. The field delimiter is "|"
Sample records from input file:
1\23|\tmp\user
mn\wer|\home\temp
Expected output:
1\23|/tmp/user
mn\wer|/home/temp
I used
sed 's/\\/\//g'
This would replace all "\" to "/". I want the replacement to happen only in the second field.
Any suggestions?
