Is the tilde part of the problem?
The reason I'm asking this is, because it's not. It would help us tremendously to help you better if you showed the error message you got. That error message might also help you to find the error.
Also, it often helps to describe what you want a particular snippet to do. In your specific case, it seems as if you want to replace all strings "example.com" to be replaced by "12.34.56.78/~example". Note that this will also affect strings like http://www.badexample.com which will become http://bad12.34.56.78/~example if your replacement worked.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
