Hi there guys,

I'm using MM 2.2 under unix, 

I have this expression 
 
                2                3                      2
         Sqrt[c2  - 6 c4] Sqrt[c2  - 6 c2 c4] Sqrt[-2 c4  + 5 c2 c6] Pi
Out[56]= --------------------------------------------------------------
                                            2
                        Sqrt[2] c2 Sqrt[2 c4  - 5 c2 c6]
 
In[57]:= InputForm[%]
 
Out[57]//InputForm= 
  ((c2^2 - 6*c4)^(1/2)*(c2^3 - 6*c2*c4)^(1/2)*(-2*c4^2 + 5*c2*c6)^(1/2)*Pi)/
   (2^(1/2)*c2*(2*c4^2 - 5*c2*c6)^(1/2))

And i want to simplify it by replacing Sqrt[-2 c4^2 - 5 c2 c6]/Sqrt[-the 
same] by I,

How come :

% /. Sqrt[x_]/Sqrt[-x]-> I does not work ??!!

Help!!!

Thanx
