Lets say I have a line #SYM
I need to replace it with all lines from file1.txt
Is it possible to do that with sed?
I have tried sed 's/#SYM/file1.txt/' updater
But that doesn't work, because I need to load file1.txt as string, and I do not know how to do that.
EDIT: I believe that there could be a way to do it in a shell script somehow.
EDIT2: I also just tried this:
#!/bin/bash
value=$(<tools/symlink)
sed -i 's/#SYM/$value/' META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
Use r command:
sed -e '/#SYM/ {r tools/symlink' -e 'd}' META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
/#SYM/ {r tools/symlink if a line contains #SYM, append the contents of tools/symlink
d} then delete the matching line
the two commands are separated using -e option because everything after r is considered as part of filename
Add the -i option once you are satisifed that it is working
I have the following line in a file:
$app-assets:"/assets/";
I am trying to use sed in the terminal to overwrite that line to read as follows:
$app-assets:"http://www.example.com/assets/";
I have tried the following but it does not work:
sed -i \'\' -e \'s/app-assets:"/assets/"/app-assets:"http://www.example.com/assets/"/g\' myfile.txt
I am fine using Perl if easier.
Use the following sed approach:
sed -i 's~\(\$app-assets:"\)\(/assets/\)"~\1http://www.example.com\2"~' myfile.txt
~ here is treated as sed subcommand separator
sed 's/app-assets:\"\/assets\/\";/app-assets:\"http:\/\/www\.example\.com\/assets\/\";/g' filename
I want to replace the
/fdasatavol/ankit
to
/fdasatavol_sata/ankit
Can anyone help me out in this?
to write to a new file (without modifying file1):
sed 's/fdasatavol/fdasatavol_sata/g' file1 > file2
or to replace in the original file:
sed -i 's/fdasatavol/fdasatavol_sata/g' file1
This will replace each occurrence of fdasatavol with fdasatavol_sata:
sed 's/fdasatavol/&_sata/g'
If your input has occurrence of fdasatavol that are not in /fdasatavol/ankit and you don't want to substitute these then use:
sed 's#/fdasatavol/ankit#/fdastatavol_sata/ankit#g'
Note: you can use any character as sed's delimilter to aviod the confusion with the parrtern contiaing /. sed prints to stdout by default, if you are happy with the changes produced by sed you can use the -i option to store back to the file.
sed -i 's/fdasatavol/&_stat/g' file
I'm on Linux command line and I have file with
127.0.0.1
128.0.0.0
121.121.33.111
I want
127.0.0.1:80
128.0.0.0:80
121.121.33.111:80
I remember my colleagues were using sed for that, but after reading sed manual still not clear how to do it on command line?
You could try using something like:
sed -n 's/$/:80/' ips.txt > new-ips.txt
Provided that your file format is just as you have described in your question.
The s/// substitution command matches (finds) the end of each line in your file (using the $ character) and then appends (replaces) the :80 to the end of each line. The ips.txt file is your input file... and new-ips.txt is your newly-created file (the final result of your changes.)
Also, if you have a list of IP numbers that happen to have port numbers attached already, (as noted by Vlad and as given by aragaer,) you could try using something like:
sed '/:[0-9]*$/ ! s/$/:80/' ips.txt > new-ips.txt
So, for example, if your input file looked something like this (note the :80):
127.0.0.1
128.0.0.0:80
121.121.33.111
The final result would look something like this:
127.0.0.1:80
128.0.0.0:80
121.121.33.111:80
Concise version of the sed command:
sed -i s/$/:80/ file.txt
Explanation:
sed stream editor
-i in-place (edit file in place)
s substitution command
/replacement_from_reg_exp/replacement_to_text/ statement
$ matches the end of line (replacement_from_reg_exp)
:80 text you want to add at the end of every line (replacement_to_text)
file.txt the file name
How can this be achieved without modifying the original file?
If you want to leave the original file unchanged and have the results in another file, then give up -i option and add the redirection (>) to another file:
sed s/$/:80/ file.txt > another_file.txt
sed 's/.*/&:80/' abcd.txt >abcde.txt
If you'd like to add text at the end of each line in-place (in the same file), you can use -i parameter, for example:
sed -i'.bak' 's/$/:80/' foo.txt
However -i option is non-standard Unix extension and may not be available on all operating systems.
So you can consider using ex (which is equivalent to vi -e/vim -e):
ex +"%s/$/:80/g" -cwq foo.txt
which will add :80 to each line, but sometimes it can append it to blank lines.
So better method is to check if the line actually contain any number, and then append it, for example:
ex +"g/[0-9]/s/$/:80/g" -cwq foo.txt
If the file has more complex format, consider using proper regex, instead of [0-9].
You can also achieve this using the backreference technique
sed -i.bak 's/\(.*\)/\1:80/' foo.txt
You can also use with awk like this
awk '{print $0":80"}' foo.txt > tmp && mv tmp foo.txt
Using a text editor, check for ^M (control-M, or carriage return) at the end of each line. You will need to remove them first, then append the additional text at the end of the line.
sed -i 's|^M||g' ips.txt
sed -i 's|$|:80|g' ips.txt
sed -i 's/$/,/g' foo.txt
I do this quite often to add a comma to the end of an output so I can just easily copy and paste it into a Python(or your fav lang) array
I am working on sed command to translate some text into another text.
cat text
<strong>ABC
</strong>
Commnad:
sed -e 's|<strong>(.*?)</strong>|//textbf{1}|g'
Expected Outcome: \textbf{ABC}
but using above script i cannot convert it into expected output since there is new line between the tags. How to handle such cases?
This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed -r '$!N;s|(<)(strong>)([^\n]*)\n\s*\1/\2|//textbf{\3}|;P;D' file
or
sed '$!N;s|\(<\)\(strong>\)\([^\n]*\)\n\s*\1/\2|//textbf{\3}|;P;D' file
sed -e 'N;s|<strong>\(.*\?\)\n</strong>|\/textbf{\1}|g'
as said by CodeGnome and David Ravetti, the N flag allows for multi-line patterns.
