sed 's/this/that/g' is the same as sed 's#this#that#g'. |

!How can I EDIT a file using sed? |
| |
|
8 |
|
| |
|
9 |
Use the ''-i'' switch. |
| |
|
10 |
This means that the file you supply to sed is overwritten with the changes made by sed. |
| |
|
11 |
If you don't want to lose the original file then after the ''-i'' switch you can add a backup extension. |
| |
|

For example: |
| |
|
14 |
|
| |
|
15 |
*sed -i.bkp '1,2d' test.txt |
| |
|
16 |
|
| |
|
17 |
This will edit test.txt and the original file can be found in test.txt.bkp |
