sed - replacing on the right of a pattern and looking for exact word?
how would you get SED to do the following, say you have the following lines in a text file:
user=tigger
some text some text
some text some text
some text some text
user=ted
some text some text
some text some text
some text some text
user=thekingofrockandroll
you want to find any line which has 'user=[the user name]' and replace it with 'user=xxx'
so the string after the 'user=' will always contain a different number of characters but you just want to sed to find any lines with 'user=' and replace the part after 'user=' with 'xxx' no matter what?
and...
if what to replace say 'AM' in a text file with 'JO', i can do:
Code:
sed 's/AM/JO/g;s/am/jo/g'
but what if the text file where i'm running this looks like this:
AM
TAME
am
jammy
I only want to replace the following lines with 'JO':
AM
am
so I want to leave 'TAME' and 'jammy' in there - the sed above will give this:
JO
TJOE
jo
JJOMY
I want:
JO
TAME
jo
jammy
how do you achieve that with SED?
Cheers!

I would like to use sed to replace one occurence of a pattern in a file. When I use the s/// command it replaces all occurences of the pattern in the file. Should I be using something other than sed?
