I am trying to replace string into number from the file
So, I have variable &FLOW which need to change to 001, ex :
cat file.txt
This is file ' PISP &FLOW'
PISD.DATA.CYCLE&FLOW..ONE
desired output
This is file ' PISP 001'
PISD.DATA.CYCLE001.ONE
I tried below commands in a script :
for item in file.txt
do
sed 's/\&FLOW/\./001/g' $item
sed 's/\&FLOW/001/g' $item
done
It is giving error. The second sed command is working, but I need to run first the beginning sed command otherwise after running first the second sed command, it would ignore the beginning sed command.
Any help would be appreciated!
Use a single sed command and use -i to actually modify the file contents and you need to pass file.txt as the input for the sed command:
sed -i 's/&FLOW\.\{0,1\}/001/g' file.txt
See the online demo. If you are using it in Mac OS, you need sed -i '' 's/&FLOW\.\{0,1\}/001/g' file.txt. Also see sed edit file in place.
Pattern details
It is a POSIX BRE compliant pattern matching
&FLOW - a literal &FLOW substring
\.\{0,1\} - 0 or 1 occurrence of a . char.
try this:
for item in file.txt
do
sed 's/\&FLOW\./001/g' $item
sed 's/\&FLOW/001/g' $item
done
You had a redundant / in after FLOW
This might also work:
sed -i 's/\&FLOW[\.]?/001/g' file.txt
For example :
file1 contains :
This is an example.
This is Sed example.
This is an example.
I want to create a file like :
This is an example.
This is Sed example.
This is awk example.
This is an example.
and this should be everywhere in the file it finds the keyword: sed, it should change sed to awk and print the entire line with the change just below the original line in that file itself
thanks
This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed '/\bsed\b/I{p;s//awk/g}' file
This matches the word sed in any combination of case, prints the original line and then substitutes the word awk throughout the line and prints that line too.
The awk version:
awk '{IGNORECASE=1} $0 ~ /^.*sed.*$/ { print; gsub("sed", "awk" ); print; next}1' file.txt
Output:
This is an example.
This is Sed example.
This is awk example.

I have lines in a file in linux, and i am trying print the line without the | and without some parameters
$cat file
2013-07-15,Provider 1.99,3|30000055|2347|0,12222,1,3,0,0,0,19,aaa,bbb
2013-07-15,Provider 1.99,3|30000055|2347|0,12222,44,12,0,0,0,33,aaa,bbb
and i need the output like:
2013-07-15,Provider,2347,12222,1,3,0,0,0,19,aaa,bbb
2013-07-15,Provider,2347,12222,44,12,0,0,0,33,aaa,bbb
and i am trying with awk, but i have some problems.
If your lines have similar pattern you would to retain then you can do:
awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","}{$2="Provider";$3=2347}1' file
If you don't know what the patterns are then here is a more generic one:
awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","}{split($2,a,/ /);split($3,b,/\|/);$2=a[1];$3=b[3]}1' file
If it doesn't solve your problem, I am pretty sure it would help you guide to get one.
Using sed:
sed 's/ [^|]*|[^|]*|\([^|]*\)|[^,]/,\1/' input
and some shorter version:
sed 's/ .*|\([^|]*\)|[^,]*/,\1/' input
and even shorter:
sed 's/ .*|\(.*\)|[^,]*/,\1/' input
Use awk, and let blank or comma or pipe be the field separators:
awk -F '[[:blank:],|]' -v OFS=, '{
print $1,$2,$6,$8,$9,$10,$11,$12,$13,$14,$15,$16
}' file

I have file, with lines, contains ip with netmask
a.b.c.d/24
w.x.y.z/32
etc
How to delete delete specific row?
i'm using
sed -ie "s#a.b.c.d/24##g" %filname%
but after the removal is an empty string in file.
It should run inside a script, with ip as parameter and also work in freebsd under sh.
Sed solution
sed -i '/<pattern-to-match-with-proper-escape>/d' data.txt
-i option will change the original file.
Awk solution
awk '!/<pattern-to-match-with-proper-escape>/' data.txt
Using sed:
sed -i '\|a.b.c.d/24|d' file
Command line arg:
For the input being command line argument, say 1st argument($1):
sed -i "\|$1|d" file
Replace $1 with appropriate argument number as is your case.
You should use d (delete) not g. Also do not use s (replacement).
sed -ie '/a.b.c.d\/24/d' %filename%
In a script you should using it in this way
IP=$1
IPA=${IP////\\/}
sed -i /"${IPA}"/d %filename%
And the script parameter should be called in this way:
./script.sh a.b.c.d/24
perl -i -lne 'print unless(/a.b.c.d\/24/)' your_file
or in awk if you donot want to do inplace editing:
awk '$0!~/a.b.c.d\/24/' your_file
I need to remove the character : from a file. Ex: I have numbers in the following format:
b3:07:4d
I want them to be like:
b3074d
I am using the following command:
grep ':' source.txt | sed -e 's/://' > des.txt
I am new to Linux. The file is quite big & I want to make sure I'm using the write command.
You can do without the grep:
sed -e 's/://g' source.txt > des.txt
The -i option edits the file in place.
sed -i 's/://' source.txt
the first part isn't right as it'll completely omit lines which don't contain :
below is untested but should be right. The g at end of the regex is for global, means it should get them all.
sed -e 's/://g' source.txt > out.txt
updated to better syntax from Jon Lin's answer but you still want the /g I would think
