Perhaps i am not going about this correctly. Here is my "test file":
$cat test.txt
coo
coo
ca
choo
$
Let's say I simply want to replace the first line (coo) with koo.
With the above suggestion:
$sed '1c\'"koo" test.txt
sed: 1: "1c\koo": extra characters after \ at the end of c command
Putting a space before "koo" yields:
$sed '1c\' "koo" test.txt
sed: koo: No such file or directory
coo
ca
choo
I get closer by typing:
$sed '1c\
> koo' test.txt
koocoo
ca
choo
But it's still not right. I am using the bash that comes with OS X Leopard. Any ideas on what's going wrong?
