- Replace the first occurrence of a string in a file, and print the result:
2013-12-11 11:50:11 +01:00
`sed 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' {{filename}}`
2013-12-11 11:50:11 +01:00
2016-01-21 13:02:00 +01:00
- Replace all occurrences of a string in a file, overwriting the file (i.e. in-place):
2013-12-11 11:50:11 +01:00
2015-11-23 16:05:25 +01:00
`sed -i 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/g' {{filename}}`
2013-12-11 11:50:11 +01:00
- Replace all occurrences of an extended regular expression in a file:
2013-12-11 11:50:11 +01:00
`sed -r 's/{{regex}}/{{replace}}/g' {{filename}}`
2016-01-21 13:02:00 +01:00
- Apply multiple find-replace expressions to a file:
2014-05-18 00:12:37 +02:00
`sed -e 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' -e 's/{{find}}/{{replace}}/' {{filename}}`
