I have a column called 'Folder' in a table called 'FileLocation'
There are a list of entries in this column.
The table looks like this:
'Column : Name' 'Column: Folder
XML Templates \\test-apps\xml
Stats Values \\test-apps\stats

The file path has changed for all of the entries, 'test-apps' has been changed to 'testing-env' how do i write a script that updates that value?

So I would like the table to look like this:
'Column : Name' 'Column: Folder
XML Templates \\testing-env\xml
Stats Values \\testing-env\stats

Thanks
