trial from my end :
sed '$!N;s/\n\s*{\s*$/{/;P;D' file

I want to do the following to all of the statements in the file:
Input: xblahxxblahxxblahblahx
Output: <blah><blah><blahblah>
So far I am thinking of using sed -i 's/x/</g' something.ucli
You can use
sed 's/x\([^x]*\)x/<\1>/g'
Details:
x - an x
\([^x]*\) - Group 1 (\1 refers to this group value from the replacement pattern): zero or more (*) chars other than x ([^x])
x - an x
See the online demo:
#!/bin/bash
s='xblahxxblahxxblahblahx'
sed 's/x\([^x]*\)x/<\1>/g' <<< "$s"
# => <blah><blah><blahblah>
If x is a multichar string, e.g.xyz, it will be easier with perl:
perl -pe 's/xyz(.*?)xyz/<$1>/g'
See this online demo.
I would like to include tab as delimited new row to a file inp.txt.
This is the input produced by R:
inp <- 'AX-1 1 125
AX-2 2 456
AX-3 3 3445'
inp <- read.table(text=inp, header=F)
write.table(inp, "inp.txt", col.names=F, row.names=F, quote=F, sep="\t")
That´s what I am trying to do:
sed -i '1i The name\tThe pos\tThe pos2\' inp.txt
However, those three col names: 1- The name, 2- The pos, 3- The pos2 are not separated by tab in the output file. It just contain the \t string. Someone can help me here with the syntax?
Put the tab in a variable:
tab=$(echo "\t")
or
tab=$'\t'
Then you can use it in your sed script:
sed -i "1i The name${tab}The pos${tab}The pos2" inp.txt
I have a text file including lines in the form of:
(term1 x:a y:b (term2 z:c k:a))
I want to extract only terms from this line using command line utilities such as awk, grep, sed. i.e I want the result to be:
term1
term2
I have formed a regex matching the rest but the terms, but could not find a way to negate it.
(\()|( \()|( (.*?) \()|( (.*?)\)+)
How can I form a command extracting the every substring after '(' and before ' '?
Thanks
Try this:
sed "s/(\([^ (]*\)[^(]*/\1\n/g"
For example:
$ echo "(term1 x:a y:b (term2 (term3) z:c k:a) x (termX a:b ) )" | sed "s/(\([^ )]*\)[^(]*/\1\n/g"
term1
term2
term3
termX
Hi I want to replace a string coming between to symbols by using sed
example: -amystring -bxyz
what to replace mystring with ****
value after -a can be anything like -amystring 123 -bxyz, -amystring 123<newline_char>, -a'mystring 123' -bxyz, -a'mystring 123'<newline_char>
I tried following regex but it does not work in all the cases
sed -re "s#(-w)([^\s\-]+)#\1**** #g"
can anybody help me to solve this issue ?
MyString="YourStringWithoutRegExSpecialCharNotEscaped"
sed "s/-a${MyString} -b/-a**** -b/g"
if you can escape your string for any regex key char like * + . \ / with something like
echo "${MyString}" | sed 's/\[*.\\/+?]/\\&/g' | read -r MyString
before us it in sed.
otherwise, you need to better define the edge pattern
Suppose I have following string. I want to replace <b>2</b> to <b>20</b> if <a>2</a>
<start>
<a>1</a><b>1</b>
<a>2</a><b>2</b>
.
.
<a>10</a><b>10</b>
<a>2</a><b>2</b>
</start>
New string should look like this
<start>
<a>1</a><b>1</b>
<a>2</a><b>20</b>
.
.
<a>10</a><b>10</b>
<a>2</a><b>20</b>
</start>
can I do this using sed?
You can start with this:
sed '/<start>/,/<\/start>/s!\(<a>2</a><b>2\)</b>!\10</b>!' input
and relax the expression as required, for example allow spaces in tag a:
sed '/<start>/,/<\/start>/{/<a>[ ]*2[ ]*<\/a>/s!<b>2<!<b>20<!}' input
This will replace the first occurrence of <b>2</b> with <b>20</b> in all the lines with <a>2</a> invoke:
sed '/<a>2<\/a>/s/<b>2<\b>/<b>20<\/b>/' input
