I'm requesting help with a very simple script...
#!/usr/bin/sed -f
sed '/11,yahoo/d'
sed '/2506,stackover flow/d'
sed '/2536,reddit/d'
Just need it to remove three matches that account for 18408 in my file, data.csv
% sed -f remove.sed < data.csv
sed: 3: remove.sed: unterminated substitute pattern
Doing these same lines individually is no problem at all, so what am I doing wrong with this?
Using freeBSD 10.1 and its implementation of sed, if that matters.
This, being a sed script, should not have "sed" at each line.
Either change it to:
#!/usr/bin/sed -f
/11,yahoo/d
/2506,stackover flow/d
/2536,reddit/d
Or to
#!/bin/sh
sed -e /11,yahoo/d \
-e /2506,stackover flow/d \
-e /2536,reddit/d

I'm trying to replace the text using the sed, but it's showing some error. Not getting where I'm getting wrong.
sed -i 's/process.env.REDIRECT_URI/http:\/\/test-domain.apps.io/\callback/g' input.txt
Have this :
process.env.REDIRECT_URI
Replace this with :
http://test-domain.apps.io
Try:
sed -i 's/process.env.REDIRECT_URI/http:\/\/test-domain.apps.io/g' input.txt
Notes:
The original command has a spurious string /\callback. All that was needed to make the code work was to remove it.
. is a wildcard. If you want to be sure that you are matching periods, they should be escaped:
sed -i 's/process\.env\.REDIRECT_URI/http:\/\/test-domain.apps.io/g' input.txt
Sometimes, its clearer if one doesn't have to escape /. One can use a separator of one's choice. For example, use #:
sed -i 's#process\.env\.REDIRECT_URI#http://test-domain.apps.io#g' input.txt
If you did want /callback in the output, use:
sed -i 's/process\.env\.REDIRECT_URI/http:\/\/test-domain.apps.io\/callback/g' input.txt
or:
sed -i 's#process\.env\.REDIRECT_URI#http://test-domain.apps.io/callback#g' input.txt
sed inplace change on a file is not working inside Make object.
I want to replace a line in a file with sed called in a make object. But it does not seem to be working. How can I fix this?
change_generics:
ifeq ($(run_TESTNAME), diagnostics)
ifeq ($(run_TESTCASE), 1)
sed -i -e "s/SIM_MULTI\==[a-z,A-Z]*/SIM_MULTI=TRUE/" ./generics.f
else ifeq ($(TESTCASE), 2)
sed -i -e "s/SIM_MISSED\==[a-z,A-Z]*/SIM_MISSED=TRUE/" ./generics.f
endif
endif
I would like the generics.f file changed with that one line change. But it remains the same as the original. The sed command works outside make.
I can't reproduce this using GNU sed 4.2.2 and GNU make 3.82, or at least, I can't reproduce any scenario where the same sed command works from the command line but not in a Makefile.
Simpler Makefile:
all:
# Contrived just so I can test your 2 sed commands.
sed -i -e "s/SIM_MULTI\==[a-z,A-Z]*/SIM_MULTI=TRUE/" ./generics.f
sed -i -e "s/SIM_MISSED\==[a-z,A-Z]*/SIM_MISSED=TRUE/" ./generics.f
Sample file content in generics.f:
SIM_MULTI=foo
SIM_MISSED=bar
Testing:
$ make all
sed -i -e "s/SIM_MULTI\==[a-z,A-Z]*/SIM_MULTI=TRUE/" ./generics.f
sed -i -e "s/SIM_MISSED\==[a-z,A-Z]*/SIM_MISSED=TRUE/" ./generics.f
Confirmed that both sed commands fail to edit a file with this content.
To fix:
Probably, you need to simply remove the \= from your regular expression. The backslash there has no effect, and causes your regex to simply match two equals signs ==. Thus this works:
all:
sed -i 's/SIM_MULTI=[a-zA-Z]*/SIM_MULTI=TRUE/' ./generics.f
sed -i 's/SIM_MISSED=[a-zA-Z]*/SIM_MISSED=TRUE/' ./generics.f
Testing:
$ make all
sed -i 's/SIM_MULTI=[a-zA-Z]*/SIM_MULTI=TRUE/' ./generics.f
sed -i 's/SIM_MISSED=[a-zA-Z]*/SIM_MISSED=TRUE/' ./generics.f
$ cat generics.f
SIM_MULTI=TRUE
SIM_MISSED=TRUE
Further explanation:
There is no need to specify -e there.
There is no need to enclose the script in double quotes, which is riskier because it allows the contents to be modified by the shell.
The bug appears to be \= and I deleted those characters, as mentioned above.
Note that I removed the comma , as well in [a-z,A-Z]. I think that probably isn't what you meant, and it would cause a class of characters including a-z, A-Z and a comma , to be matched by the regex. (And if it is what you mean, you might consider writing it as [a-zA-Z,] as that would be less confusing.)
If this has not resolved your issue, I would need to know things like:
What is the version of your sed.
What is the contents in generics.f.
POSIX/GNU sed have c for "change":
sed -i '/SIM_MULTI=/c\SIM_MULTI=TRUE'
sed -i '/SIM_MISSED=/c\SIM_MISSED=TRUE'
I want to add below line to build.sh file to a line number 26
sed -i 's/-DskipTests //' dev/make-distribution.sh
I tried with this command
sed "26 a sed -i 's/-DskipTests //' dev/make-distribution.sh" build.sh
But this is giving error
sed: 1: "26 a sed -i 's/-DskipTe ...": command a expects \ followed by text`
Try putting it in as if it were multiline add as a workaround. Does this work for you?
sed "26 a\\sed -i 's/-DskipTests //' dev/make-distribution.sh" build.sh
You need to quote your quote since you are compounding quote-types.
c.f. the manual, though - it ought to work as it is.
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 have values in a file like this ' value-to-remove '(without the ' characters). I want to use sed to run through the file and replace the values including the space before and after. I am running this via a bash script.
How can I do this?
The sed command I'm using at the moment replaces the values but leaves behind the two spaces.
sed -i 's/ '$value' / /g' test.conf
In script I have
sed -i -e 's/\s'$DOMAIN'-'$SITE'\s/\s/g' gitosis.conf
echoed as
sed -i -e s/\sffff.com-eeee\s/\s/g test.conf
Not working though.
IMHO your sed does not know '\s', so use [ \t], and use double quotes, otherwise your variables will not expand. e.g.:
sed -i -e "s/[ \t]'$DOMAIN'-'$SITE'[ \t]/ /g" gitosis.conf
Let me know if this is what you need
echo 'Some values to remove value-to-remove and more' | sed -e 's/\svalue-to-remove\s/CHANGED/g'
output: Some values to removeCHANGEDand more
