subtitle...fun with sed I have a list of changes to make to a file... dc rc ------------- ------- 15T6145V DELETED NATL19502 DELETED Q10MR11/FL12V DELETED Q1500T3/CL120 DELETED and things work until I get to the 3rd item which has a forward slash and it fails to substitute with commands like below... sed -i "s%${dc}%${rc}%g" ARsalesorderdetails.csv and sed -i "s/${dc}/${rc}/g" ARsalesorderdetails.csv The latter producing error on screen... sed: -e expression #1, char 17: unknown option to `s' While the former simply doesn't complain but doesn't make the change either. Is there a way to coerce sed to identify & replace strings with a / inside? Craig
The second fails because in the file where there is a '/' in the stream, sed sees more delimiters such as: s//Q1500T3/CL120 DELETED/g ========^ (extra delimiter) and so fails. Your use of '%" as a sed delimiter works so as long as % is not part of the sed stream. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
