Change links path to new server

$

Hi,

 

This could also (perhaps more accurately) be titled: "Change a character in link path".

 

We're migrating to a new NAS file server, and for compatibility with NFS and SAMBA shares, I've had to alter some folder names, by replacing instances of "/" with "-" in the names (don't ask).

 

So e.g. "Brochures/Literature", a folder name in the link path needs to be changed to "Brochures-Literature", so the link can be re-established on the new server.

 

I was not aware that Indesign supports scripting until I googled it just now, and I'm hopeful this may present an easier method of updating links 'on the fly' than manual re-linking.

 

Has anyone created and/or used such a script you can point me to? I have some familiarity with javascript in web development however, I obviously have no experience with using scripts in Indesign, in case that warrants some extra detail on how it's done.

 

Thanks!
